<h2>History of TVET Colleges in South Africa:</h2>
The TVET system in South Africa has its roots in the apartheid era when vocational education was designed to provide cheap labor for white-owned industries.

However, these colleges were segregated, with black students being restricted to attending certain institutions. This changed in the 1990s when South Africa transitioned to a democratic government, and the government made efforts to transform the education system to be more inclusive and accessible to all.  <em>history of tvet colleges in south africa lekau mamabolo</em>

In 1994, the Further Education and Training (FET) Act was passed, which aimed to expand access to vocational and technical education for all South Africans. The act established the FET colleges, which replaced the existing technical colleges and brought them under the umbrella of the newly created Department of Higher Education and Training. <em>history of tvet colleges in south africa lekau mamabolo</em>

Today, there are 50 public TVET colleges in South Africa, which are spread across all provinces in the country. These colleges provide education and training to over 700,000 students every year, making them an important part of South Africa's education system.<em><span style="color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff;"> tvet colleges that offer fashion design</span></em>

After the end of apartheid in 1994, the government implemented policies to transform the education system and promote equal access to education for all. As part of this process, the Technical Colleges Act was passed in 1981, which established technical colleges to provide vocational education to students.

In 1996, the Further Education and Training Colleges Act was passed, which replaced the technical colleges with the current TVET colleges. The purpose of this act was to provide vocational and technical education to students in a more integrated and inclusive manner. <em>history of tvet colleges in south africa</em>
