Set national guidelines for the optimisation and restructuring of institutional networks using clear criteria to ensure a) the labour market relevance of qualifications awarded by institutions; b) efficiency in the use of teaching and learning resources; c) access of learners in line with their residential distribution across the country and the regions.

Carry out an organisational audit to appraise all secondary VET and professional pre-higher education institutions in relation to their capacity, provision and resources.

Prepare restructuring plans in all regions based on the institutional appraisals and stakeholder consultations and empower regional VET councils to endorse them.

Amend the current and upcoming legislation on VET and professional pre-higher education to harmonise provision and institutional networks.
