*[The Star] 24 October 2021 *

DESPITE the government’s many efforts to improve Technical and
Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in the country, stakeholders

online education, parents had to arrange a laptop or a smartphone with
unlimited data as well alongside giving tuition fees to the school for
