The 3rd BIMP-EAGA TVET Conference 2023
The 3rd BIMP-EAGA TVET (Technical Vocational and Education Training) Conference was held in Kuching, Malaysia between March 8 and March 9, 2023. The conference was co-hosted by the Ministry of Education, Innovation and Talent Development (MEITD), the Sarawak Skills Development Center, and the state-funded TVET organization. The plenary meeting was led by Sarawak Prime Minister, Abang Johari Tun Openg.
The BIMP-EAGA aims to accelerate the improvement of culture, education and technology and to develop competent human resources through cooperation in the fields of Society – Culture - Education (SCE). For comprehensive educational cooperation, higher education and technical education are divided based on the needs of the EAGA region, namely higher educational institutions (HEI) and technical and vocational educational institutions (TVETI). The BIMP-EAGA holds TVET forum and HEI summit to share information on employment demands and skill demands, and to expand the network with stakeholders with the main goal to ensure that schools can connect well with the society.
The 3rd BIMP-EAGA TVET Conference was attended by practitioners and experts from academia, industry and government agencies, including Hallman bin Haji Sabri, the director of Sarawak Technology Development Center; Anang Ristanto, the chair of SCE Cluster; and Khoo Nee Teck, the chief technology officer of Huawei Malaysia. The theme of the two-day conference was "TVET leading innovation and talent development", and various perspectives were discussed on four sub-themes such as ‘Innovation and Technology, Human Resource Management and Prospects, as well as Strengthening Partnerships between Green TVET, BIMP-EAGA TVET and HEI’. TVET practitioners shared their best practices and discussed ways to improve the TVET curriculum. They expected that partnerships between institutions can be strengthened to produce competent graduates.
