The initial issues that I had identified from the literature review done are listed below.

There are other issues which I think fall within under these and can
be discussed under the main points. If there is an issue that needs to be swopped with another one, I am ok too.

So, I have developed this guide to kind of try help navigate the literature sources, I don’t want you to waste time reading hundreds of pages. Let me help
show where you to look so you can faster. Let me know if you need more help

1. Forging partnerships between TVET and relevant stakeholders.

2. Managing the quality and relevance of the curriculum

3. Development of College management, student leadership and academic staff

4. Improve the advocacy of SACPO and build positive sentiment for the TVET sector

5. Charting and cementing the pathway for TVET College students

I was looking at the questionnaire again and some of the literature and it occurred to me that the pathway entry and exit into TVET Colleges could be an
issue worth exploring .Because there is a lack of clarity on how students are supposed to proceed after graduating from the TVET . Initially I thought it went
with stakeholder partnerships ( issue no.1) but though it is related because some of the stakeholders like employees and industry can assist with the
pathway – it is not the only way to tackle the issue – so I have created a 5th issue .

Does this make sense? I do have one article on issue 5 which I moved from the Issue 1. I will look for more. Because I do believe it is important. Maybe at
some stage we will take back to Issue#1 but for now I have separated it so we can discuss it purposely
