The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) is looking into the possibility of hiring 9,000 assessors and trainors to teach technical vocational courses for students under the K to 12 program.
“It will be taking a huge toll on our trainors/assessors if 30 percent of 1.2 million of senior high school will go to TVET (technical and vocational education and training) track,” TESDA director general Joel Villanueva said.
Villanueva said his agency needs to increase by half or double the number of their assessors in anticipation of the increase in the number of tech-voc students with the full implementation of the Senior High School (SHS) in 2016.
TESDA currently has 9,679 assessors for 960,000 students nationwide. The present assessor-student ratio is 1:10,000, Villanueva added.
Meanwhile, there are 21,000 trainors in TESDA-accredited institutions all over the country, according to the official. –Helen M. Flores, Philippine Star
