TVET Project receives six month extension
Bangladesh Planning Commission recently granted the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Project a six month extension to extend its operations until December 2015.
Arthur Shears, former Chief Technical Advisor of the project said that apart from advocacy work, another key focus will be arranging translation of key strategy and policy documents as well as competency based learned materials into Bangla to increase their usability.
There are also various closing activities required by the donor and government after eight years of operation, which focus on the sustainability of project initiatives, he noted.
It is understood that the European Union, the primary funder of the project, is considering a follow-up project that could start as early as January 2016.
