Abstract
Providing quality training that leads
young people to jobs is critical for the economic and social
development of the Province of Sindh, Pakistan. This working
paper assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the Sindh
Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority
(STEVTA) as a provincial apex body in Technical Education
and Vocational Training (TVET). The recent establishment of
STEVTA was a major step to reduce fragmentation of training
policies and programs. The paper assesses the
Authority's legal foundation, governance, management,
organization, human resources, financial resources and
management, and networking with external organizations. The
institutional assessment finds that Government of Sindh and
STEVTA need to: (i) strengthen its governance by
establishing a clearer reporting structure for the
management of the authority's director, and by
increasing the involvement of the private sector in the
board, (ii) enhance its institutional capacity through
hiring of teachers in its institutions based upon increased
funding and a sustainable HR rationalization plan for the
system that is coordinated with planned physical investments
in institutions, and (iii) build strong operational capacity
by establishing rules of business and management information
systems, and drafting a strategic plan. Lastly, to fully
achieve its mandate, continued and consistent governmental
support is essential to give STEVTA stability and funding to
fulfill its mandate: employment through skills.
