Vocational and Technical Education
There are eight (8) government schools providing
vocational and technical courses. Specifically, only four (4) institutions
exclusively offer manpower development training. These are the Molave
Vocational Technical Schools (MVTS), CMS Canuto Enerio Schools of
Arts and Trade, the Zamboanga del Sur School of Arts and Trades
(ZSSAT) and the Technical Education Skills Development Authority
(TESDA). In Table 6-8, TESDA graduates from 1999 to 2001 declined
due to the opening of private schools offering the same courses.
As of SY 2001-2002, there were 11 private schools
that offered vocational and technical education. Out of these, only
5 schools offered vocational courses while the rest offered both
formal and vocational courses. These were the Zamboanga del Sur
Technical Institute (ZSTI), Zamboanga del Sur Maritime Institute
of Technology (ZSMIT), Southern Mindanao Colleges (SMC), Pagadian
City Institute of Electronics (PCIE) and Pagadian City Institute
of Technology (PIT).
