The Ministry of Technical and Vocational Education (Arabic: وزارة التعليم التقني والفني) is one of the ministries of the Government of National Unity in Libya. It is the government body responsible for organizing and developing the technical education and vocational training sector in the country. The ministry aims to prepare qualified technical and technological cadres to meet labor market requirements and support economic development.[1]
Historically, the technical and vocational education sector was a department within the Ministry of General Education. However, recognizing the importance of this type of education as an independent sector, it was separated, and an autonomous ministry was established.
The Ministry of Technical and Vocational Education was founded in its current form with the formation of the Government of National Unity in March 2021, headed by Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh.
