Background
• TVET has been included as one of the areas for further development and discussion between
2018 PH-ADB Country PH and ADB, given its significance in addressing the skills requirement of the 4IR and its
Programming Mission contribution and support to the Administration’s Build Build Build thrust.

• During the 2019 PH-ADB Country Programming Mission, the project was included in the ADB
2019 PH-ADB Country
Country Operations Business Plan (COBP) 2020-2022 to support TVET in addressing the said
Programming Mission
thrust of the current administration. .

Planning and • Meetings and coordination with oversight agencies: DOF, DBM, NEDA and DTI at the national
initiation activities in
level. Comments and inputs were generated that enhanced the project proposal.
2020

• The project has been classified as 2021 standby and identified as “advancing investments that
would help the country with its post-COVID-19 recovery”. The feasibility study was submitted to
Current status
NEDA-ICC on February 5, 2021. TESDA is currently working on RDCs’ endorsement to the NEDA-
ICC.
Project Context and Alignment
● Limited budget allocation for TVET/ TESDA

TESDA accounted for only around 1.5% of the total budget allocated to the Department of Education
(DepEd), Commission for Higher Education (CHED).

● Inability to keep pace with changes in the job market

TVET skills ecosystem (training regulations, competency and assessment standards, certification,
accreditation) and training infrastructure (facilities & equipment) could hardly keep pace with technology
advancement; 87% of regulations at NC levels 1 / 2; industry demands higher NCs

● Alignment to the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022

○ To improve the quality of higher and technical education and research for equity and global
competitiveness
○ Provide access to quality and relevant TVET opportunities; Ensure globally-competitive TVET
programs; Improve research, innovation, and extension services; Expand Government-Academe-
Industry collaboration
Project Context and Alignment
● Alignment to the Bangsamoro Development Plan (BDP) 2020-2022

○ Development Goal 5: Ensure access to and delivery of quality services for human
capital development

○ Intermediate Outcome: Inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning
opportunities for all ensured and improved.

○ Immediate Outcome: 5.3.3 Access to higher and technical education and life-long
learning services improved
Project Context and Alignment
● Aligned with the National Technical Education and Skills Development Plan
