Integrating technical education is key to achieving the sustainability agenda

During the World Summit Sustainable Development held in South Africa in 2002, a very critical declaration was made. Key among them was the promulgation of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005–2014).

This was a major international effort to mainstream sustainable development in the education sector by ensuring that technical vocational educational training play a key role as a basis for creating a democratic and human society.
