Abstract
In many developing countries, including Pakistan, Technical and Vocational Education (TVET) is under-valued, under-prioritised and therefore under-funded, leaving little room for institutes to experiment with new methodologies for design and delivery of training. LEAD Pakistan is conducting research on a ‘self-sufficient’ school model, and to identify potential partners to develop a business plan. After learning about successes in Paraguay, workshops were held in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad with invited stakeholders and possible partners to discuss facilitation of the school-based enterprise model of education.
