I. THE PLANNING FRAMEWORK

For the new directions and a higher level of priorities espoused by the 4th cycle of the
National TESD Plan, the 17-Point TESDA Reform and Development Agenda, coupled with
the directions of the national (PDP and Ambisyon 2040) and international (UN’s SDG)
development goals, TESDA has to adapt to the new challenges, risks and opportunities
brought about by the global and local drivers of change which impact on TVET. TESDA has
to be more relevant, effective and efficient in addressing the new demands and expectations
of the industries and at the same time attend to the diversified needs of its target clients.

Ultimately, TESDA will be measured on its mandate to ensure that TESD

interventions will be able to increase or enhance the employability of its intended clients, the
TVET graduates and/or workers. To achieve its vision to be the “transformational leader in
TVET”, TESDA must re-position and re-think its strategic responses and consider the
“contribution of value” from all of its activities to intended results.

The transition of TESDA’s quality management system attuned to the requirements

of the ISO9001:2015 requires that the organization must adopt a systematic approach to
controlling and managing risks to achieve its organizational targets and objectives. Risk
Management is a key feature in all of TESDA’s core processes to mitigate or control the
negative impact of the identified risks and maximize the realization of opportunities.

For the next 5 years, TVET is realigned to address 3-pronged directions: TVET for
global competitiveness, TVET for social equity, and in the middle of the TVET continuum is
TVET for job-readiness. TESDA, as the Authority in TVET, is expected to respond
accordingly to the requirements of its clienteles/stakeholders it serves. The policies,
programs and services have to follow these directions/responses:

1. “AGILITY” for TVET for Global Competitiveness

2. “SCALABILITY” for TVET for Job-Readiness
3. “FLEXIBILITY and SUSTAINABILITY” for TVET for Social Equity

”AGILITY” as the Response for “TVET for Global Competitiveness”

For high end industries in the global and local arena which move in “galloping” and
“sprinting” steps to keep up with the technological advancements and connected world of
work, TVET has to be “agile” in order not to lose its relevance. Effective skills anticipation
and matching future skills for future of work, based on high quality labor market information
and use of tools, can link education, training and employment. This hopes to encourage
partnerships and cooperation to deliver TESD relevant to the workplace and respected by
employers. Policies and regulations can be less restrictive and flexible to engage more
private-sector-led TESD. Provision of incentives and rewards would help generate wider
industry support and commitment. Technical assistance and capability building interventions
shall be provided to industries for IT-BPM, green jobs etc. to enable them to perform their
role as TVET partner.
1
 Expanding and purposively directing scholarships and other training assistance to
critical and hard-to-find skills and higher technologies is another strategy to keep TVET more
agile.

“SCALABILITY” as the Response for TVET “for Job-Readiness”

For the industries with steady growth and would need massive hiring of people at
entry level, TVET has to check its “scalability” and capacity to keep pace with the massive
skills requirements of industries in sectors like Construction, Tourism, Agriculture and
Metals. There is a need to increase and build up TVET capacity, both horizontally and
vertically. Strategies would focus on the horizontal expansion of TVET capacity by
increasing the training seats available in the TVET institutions to be able to produce more
skilled workers. The vertical expansion of TVET shall cover development and delivery of
programs for more qualifications at higher levels of technologies and qualifications.

“FLEXIBILITY and SUSTAINABILITY” as the Response for “TVET for Social Equity”

Under this direction, TVET is addressing the informal economy and how it will be linked
to the formal economy through “inclusive business” strategy. Convergence and inclusivity
are the main focus. Policies and regulations have to be “flexible” and “less restrictive” since
most of the TVET beneficiaries here, mostly coming from the disadvantaged sector, are not
high school graduates and after enskilling, they cannot be employed unless small and family
or social enterprises will absorb them. Special skills training programs must be designed to
respond to the specific needs of the beneficiaries. Other national government agencies like
DSWD, DOLE and DTI, among others, are also source of training outputs.

TESDA, in all of these reforms, has to lead in the transformation of the whole TVET
sector anticipating the sophisticated demands of the industries and the diversified
requirements of its clients.

TESDA’s programs and services for 2018 have to be Responsive, Purposive, and
Inclusive as no one is left behind in TESD, to retain its RELEVANCE and AUTHORITY
in TVET.

2
 II. The PREXC

Starting 2018, TESDA will use the DBM-approved outcome-based and results-based
indicators to conform with the Program Expenditure Classification (PREXC) of the
Department of Budget and Management. Under the PREXC, agency budgets, target
outputs and outcomes are presented by major program (not major final outputs or MFOs)
that are linked with budgets, strategies and intended results.

The DBM-approved PREXC structure includes major programs:

1) TESD Policy Program – Refers to programs and projects that will provide clear
direction to the TVET sub- sector and guidance to the diverse TVET players in
the advancement of its program implementation. This includes the formulation,
updating and implementation of national, regional and provincial TESD Plans
which serve as the blueprint for TVET at various levels as well as the formulation
of relevant and specific policies and guidelines on critical issues and concerns
that promote quality and relevant TVET, and consequently ensure the
development of high quality Filipino middle-level manpower. Other support
programs include Labor Market Intelligence Reports, conduct of researches /
studies, fora and industry consultations to capture timely, accurate and relevant
information.

2) TESD Regulatory Program – Refers to programs and projects that provide

regulation of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) processes and
systems and set competency standards towards quality assurance in TVET
provision and competency assessment and certification and ensure high quality
and competitive TVET graduates and workers. Specific programs include
Program Registration and Compliance Audit (including Inspectorate audit for
scholarship programs), Assessment and Certification, Development of
3
 Competency Standards and Training Regulations, APACC Accreditation and
STAR Rating Awards, among others.

3) TESD Program – Refers to programs that involve capacitating TESDA’s partners

and Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) providers with skills and
competencies which will enhance the efficient and effective management and
operations of Technical Education and Skills Development (TESD) delivery and
competency assessment. Specific programs and projects include the different
training modalities, Scholarship (TWSP, PESFA, STEP, PAFSE, and Universal
Access to Quality Tertiary Education), Trainers Development Program,
Assessors/AC Managers Development Program, TTI Management and
Supervision, Capability Building Programs for partners (such as TESD members,
CTECs, LGUs/NGOs, TVET Providers/Managers and Industry Partners) Installing
of QMS in TVET Institutions, and Facilitating employment of TVET graduates.

In support to the efficient and effective delivery of programs and services are the
General Administration Services (General Management & Supervision, Administration of
Personnel Benefits) and Support to TESD Operations which include management of IT
services, monitoring and evaluation of projects, provision of incentives and rewards and
promotion and advocacy.

NEW TESDA RESULTS-BASED LOGICAL FRAMEWORK

The Office Performance Commitment and Review (OPCR) of every operating unit
shall adopt the approved PREXC programs and indicators as mandatory requirements for
performance review. Other results-based indicators not covered in the PREXC framework
can be included as long as they are necessary outputs and contributes to the achievement
of intended outcome indicators of PREXC.

Similarly, the Individual Performance Commitment and Review shall be prepared

based on the approved OPCRs of each operating unit.
