Technical education key to economy

The Deputy Project Coordinator for the Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST), Mogotsa Kewagamang, officiating at the Selebi-Phikwe Technical College (SPTECO)'s 20th anniversary celebrations on Friday said technical, vocational education and training (TVET) is the "lifeblood of any modern thriving economy".

He said while TVET is an expensive form of education, it qualifies citizens to participate in sectors of the economy that are productive and growth oriented.
