Introduction:
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) refers to education and training that
prepares students for a useful employment (Finch and Crunkilton 1999). In other words, TVET
would make people more productive in designated areas of financial activity (e.g., economic
sectors, occupations, specific work tasks). It has the possible to enhance trainers capabilities
and increase people choices. Also, the TVET opportunities should be distributed fairly between
all the community spectra. However, the general education and training began in pre-history
with the transmission of knowledge and culture from one generation to the next. In ancient
times, using tools began with those made from stones, and then they evolved as humans
evolved. In the pre-historic hunting, gathering society, and skills were passed from parent to
child and from migratory groups to native groups. The transition from this stage to the settled
farming of crops marks the beginning of the humanity development and with it the history has
recorded. The education and training that occurred is best embodied in the Chinese proverb:
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.
In most Developing Countries, the TVET refers to non-academic technical education and
practical training that develop the skills and knowledge of trainees (learners of trades or crafts)
working in different sectors of industry and trainees / students trained in different technical
vocational institutes, centers and schools. The TVET is that part of the education system that
provides courses and training programmers related to employment with a view to enable the
transition from Secondary Education to work for young trainees / students (social objective) and
supply the labor market with competent apprentices (economic objective).
