The MVTC and the Curriculum

The above experience shows that the MVTC is longing for a curriculum that represents their ideas and meets the demands of the people and local industries. At the MVTC we have been talking about curriculum in different occasions but the idea has not seen the light. This therefore shows that people of the MVTC are ready to participate fully in this process, and as a facilitator I can use this demand as a common ground for my approach. Participatory research is a bottom-up approach which empowers communities to realize their need, set the priorities and allows them to approach the local authorities and let the government work in accordance with their demands. By introducing this approach at the VTC level it will empower and allow them to identify their needs and demands.Doing so the TVET project will not only avoid experience happened in the past introducing a curriculum that may not meet the needs and demands of the communities, but it will also give an opportunity to people to decide for themselves what they want and how they want it to look like.
