comments:

This recommendation is based on the wrongful assumption that decisions not to send children in TVET are economically unsound - which is not the case. TVET level jobs are underpaid and suffer from many decent work deficits. there is limited prospect for LL and career development. We will not tackle resistance to TVET education through a social media strategy but a comprehensive reform of the HRD function of the employers.

action_plan:

A comprehensive reform for HRD function of the employers is needed to support the image of TVET.

title:

5. Develop a buy-in strategy, including social media marketing and social awareness components. It is advised to develop a buy-in strategy that might include awareness sessions, advocacy campaigns and other communication tools targeting youth groups, community groups and other affected groups to deal with the expected resistance against TVET due to negative perceptions and attitudes. Also, the resistance of some of governmental staff and the difficulty in changing their mindsets about the need for change, as well as the diversity of TVET service providers is considered a barrier to turning the NSF into actionable interventions. Monitoring work plans and roadmaps developed under each governmental entity will change their attitudes indirectly.
