Enrolments has increased significantly in the last 5 years at all levels of education and training. The government is implementing alternative education and training programmes outside the formal system to complement and ensure no one is left behind. For example, since 2016/17, the government has expanded: workplace training programmes (internships) for graduates and apprenticeships; skills training for out of school youth, recognition and certifications of competencies for skilled but unqualified workers in the informal economy (RPL).
