TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (TVET) FOR SUSTAINABLE HUMAN SECURITY AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The world will never be secure from war if men and women have no security in their homes and in their jobs. Both the rich and the poor are faced with a number of security challenges ranging from physical, social, economic, health, environmental, individual, community, political among other sources of human insecurity. Sustainable human development programmes must be designed to be pro-people, pro-jobs and pro-nature. Therefore, TVET experts and practitioners must deliberately engage with the corporate entities, international organizations and government for comprehensive assessment of sources of threats to human security in various sectors to  provide guide for designing and reforming TVET programmes capable of promoting sustainable national development.
