Description

The Dual Training System (DTS) Act of 1994 calls for the institutionalization of the DTS in public and private institutions, training centers and agricultural, industrial and business establishments that are accredited by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). This working paper identifies the constraints in implementing the DTS program in the Philippines and suggests appropriate policy recommendations to expand and improve the system including incentives for firms and training institutions and contribution by private and development sector partners such as sequa gGmbH.
