3.3. Conclusions
TVET sectors in Bangladesh have improved much from earlier, and the continuity of this
improvement needs to be maintained. TVET sectors could help to convert our huge population
into human resources by means of skill training, then they can change our country from
developing to developed country. One participant in relation to this stated that:
“We have a huge number of graduates and none of them are still unemployed. By this, we
can understand that general education even masters degree is not enough for
employment. But if students got proper training upon any specific trades, employment
for him will be much easier.”
The education minister of Bangladesh rightly said, “Improving TVET sectors is the priority
among other priorities”.
