LAHAD DATU: There is a need to change the stigma around Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) that perceives it to be a second-class form of education.

Higher Education Deputy Minister Datuk Mohd Yusof Apdal said TVET should not be considered an alternative stream, rather an option that is no less important than a traditionally academic stream.

He said TVET also has its own advantages in producing employable and competitive human capital in the workforce.
