Encouraging female participation in TVET courses
KIHBT has appointed a gender committee whose overall role is to develop, implement, monitor and periodically evaluate the gender action plan. Among the initiatives the committee has been undertaking is Implementation of affirmative action policies to increase female enrollment which are:
- lowering the admission cut-off points
- providing remedial courses or bridging courses for females to fill the gap in meeting the course requirements
- targeting scholarships for female students only
Having the above in place we hope to have an increase in female enrollment in the subsequent intakes.
