The GCE Ordinary Level (O/L) and Advanced Level (A/L) students will now have the opportunity to complete a curriculum that covers five fundamental areas of vocational education while still enrolled in school due to a new programme the government has decided to launch.

The program is mainly expected to develop IT and English language which are generally important for vocational education along with soft skills.

The Cabinet of Ministers approved the proposal presented by the Minister of Education to implement the proposed program as a pilot project for a period of 3 – 4 months in 320 selected schools covering every educational division of the island.

Approval was also granted to implement the project as a national program from the year 2024, based on the results of the pilot project.
