TVL TRACK DISCRIMINATION

                    That's just how often I hear students who do not know what  TVL students are. Yes, TVL is just the strand, which you think is the lowest strand. In fact, TVL students are just the same. There are also academic subjects we are studying. Research papers and business plans that we are about to quarrel with our group mates due to bad cooperation. We are also in trouble when we ask for money from our parents. It also hurts sometimes saying "why isn't TVL strand is one of your choice? There is another course you can take that is not very expensive?" But anyway, I could hear any painful words, it seemed like nothing. Because every time I enter the of our classrooms, especially when I see my classmates tantrums, laughs, smiles and sometimes smiles, I say to myself that there is no problem with TVL that I choose strand. The problem is that other students in the academic strand think that they are wise and self-esteemed. Your hard work as  TVL students is all worth it especially when you have passed all the assessment for NCII. 

            Participating in TVL is a unique opportunity and a privilege. TVL is an ideal

environment for a motivated learner who seeks the independence of completing coursework that runs “parallel” with the Tacoma Public Schools high school curriculum. Stop the discrimination about the Senior High school students who are currently taking Technical Vocational Livelihood Track. Many of the students are discriminating them by saying that their track is just an easy one. But here are the pros of taking TVL tracks.  Even without college, Technical-Vocational-Livelihood track will equip you with job-ready skills in the future. This track also invests primarily on skills that can gain you requisite COCs (Certificates of Competency) and NCs (National Certifications) which would be essential when looking for better career opportunities in agriculture, electronics, and trade. Every tracks and course is equally diverse. We have our own specializations so don't discriminate them. You may not know what challenges they are going through. Did you know that, depending on your circumstances and your future goals, the TVL Track in senior high school could actually  be the better option there’s more to the TVL Track in senior high than meets the eye. The following article expounds reasons why senior high school students must not discount and must, in fact, consider the TVL Track.

The TVL Track can get you employed right after senior high school.

           After 2 years of senior high TVL you’ll have earned employable skills and will thus be eligible to work. After the TVL Track in senior high, you can get employed by a company or can be self-employed because of the skills you’ve acquired. If you have no desire to go to college and simply want to earn money to support yourself and your family right after high school, the TVL track is the best option. Conversely, if you do want to go to college – immediately after senior high or eventually, after some time – the TVL track still makes sense. You can use the skills you’ve acquired through the TVL Track to                                                                                      earn money for college.

The TVL Track provides preparation for the bulk of occupations OFWs hold abroad.

            Approximately three quarters of the Filipinos abroad hold jobs for which the TVL track may prepare you. If your goal is to work abroad, then the TVL Track senior high can be an efficient shortcut.

There is a positive employment outlook for TVL track senior high school graduates.

            In the Philippines and abroad, there is and will continue to be demand for semi-skilled TVL Track senior high graduates and skilled TVET graduates. If you don’t want to be another unemployed statistic, you must consider the TVL Track. The TVL Track really is the best preparation for those whose priority is finding work after senior high graduation.

There will be great demand for TVL Track senior high school graduates.

            If you want to get a job in Naga right out of senior high school, consider the TVL track. This means that after TVL Track senior high, you can be fairly certain that there will be employment opportunities waiting for you.

           The TVL Track in senior high is a viable option, and it is an option no one must discount for the  reasons stated above. No one could have expressed it better than former TESDA Director General Joel Villanueva when he said (with regards to technical vocational education and training), I know the idea of a college or university education is always appealing. But TVET is more affordable, hands-on, and the path to a good job is shorter. The TVL Track is definitely more “affordable, hands-on, and the path to a good job is shorter.”

            The only point I just pointed out here is no hard strand if you like what you do and you're happy be with what you do. So you should not let that strand shamed other strand because all the strands are equal and it is only in accordance with your well-being and will. Now you have to be your prove to it. Claim it! Because nothing stops you from what you want to be. TVL has a good benefits. Choose your strand that you feel that you are comfortable.  So in the incoming Senior High School there is no way to shame what track / strand you will get. Be proud again. If you know that's good then do it.  You just need to choose the track that prepares you best for the future you envision and can realistically attain for yourself.
