This concept document serves as a foundational document for the Research Programme on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) (hereafter called the ‘the Research Programme’), which was initiated by the Policy, Research and Evaluation directorate (PRE) of the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), and is supported by the National Skills Fund (NSF). The document has three discernible sections: first the concept note describes the background to the five year research programme, and its aims and objectives; second, it highlights key national issues and/or debates that can be distilled from current TVET research or scholarship on vocational education, and which may impact on researchers and research approaches taken. The document also provides essential and most recent information about the TVET college sector, including statistics on its size and shape; relevant official policies to be considered, and key legislation in place or pending. Finally, this concept note presents international issues and/or debates especially with regards to how they align with the themes of the Research Programme.
