In Benin, access to formal technical and vocational education and training (TVET) is conditional on finishing
the second year of secondary school, equivalent to completing nine years of education. However, among 5- to
17-year-olds, the median years in education is four. As a result, only 5 per cent of secondary age youth are in TVET,
totalling around 50,000 young people.
