Educator tells students to go for tech-voc courses

AN education advocate who has been assisting high school students in finding the right career path sees a brighter future for students who will finish senior high school (Grades 11 and 12) as more job opportunities are awaiting technical-vocational (tech-voc) graduates.

Henry Motte-Muñoz, the 29-year-old founder of social enterprise Edukasyon.ph, said 16-year-old students who just complete the 10-year cycle in basic education do not have any skills ready for employment, unlike the 18-year olds who finished senior high school who are far more skilled and jobs-ready.
