KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 — The Education Ministry (MOE) will introduce technical and vocational education and training (TVET) elements from Year 1 through the 2027 School Curriculum.
Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh said primary school students will be introduced to TVET elements through an integrated learning approach that combines various disciplines, including science, technology, digital, visual arts, music, and health education.
“Subsequently, Years 5 and 6 students will learn the basic disciplines of TVET subjects such as technology, home science, engineering, programming, and agriculture.
“Learning will be project-based, allowing students to understand, explore, and apply technology and digital knowledge in various fields,” he said during the question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today.
He was replying to a question from Jamaludin Yahya (PN-Pasir Salak) on whether MOE would introduce TVET programmes at the lower secondary level to allow students to choose skill-based fields of study.
Wong said content, skills, and values from various technological and digital fields will be developed for lower secondary students in Forms 1, 2, and 3 to help them recognise their potential and encourage interest in TVET.
“MOE is confident this initiative will provide early exposure and give students the opportunity to choose TVET fields after completing lower secondary education in Form 3,” he added.
