 Vocational education and training and craft (art. 28) 141. In order to facilitate the integration of young people into the labour market, the Government has included vocational education, vocational training and technical education in the Sectoral Plan for the Development of Education and Training. 142. With regard to technical and vocational education, during the period from 2004 to 2014, the number of students increased following the creation of new modules such as the electronics section, the industrial electricity section, the economic section and computer science in rural provinces. However, public technical schools are less attended by girls. Over the past two years, the Government has provided equipment and signed partnerships with the private sector. 143. In addition, in order to improve the quality of learning, multifaceted actions have been carried out. These include technical and pedagogical training through the "training / action" approach, the development of basic modules and trainer's guides in 10 sectors, the development of training programmes and their experimentation. 144. The Government has also signed implementing agreements with certain centres to optimise their material and educational organisation, with a view to setting up a guarantee fund to facilitate the creation of micro-enterprises by the laureates of the TVET programme and the organisation of insertion clusters. 145. The following table shows the enrolment at this level of education during the 2014-2015 school year.
