National Tech-Voc Day, also known as National Technological and Vocational Education Day, is observed in the Philippines every August 25. This day was established to promote technical and vocational education and training (TVET), which encompasses various forms of education and training related to occupations across multiple sectors. The celebration began in 2018 and involves programs and activities overseen by the Department of Education and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). The history of TVET in the Philippines dates back to the Vocational Act of 1927, which aimed to enhance agricultural and vocational education. Events are organized by government agencies, educational institutions, and the private sector, highlighting the importance of TVET in fields such as tourism, ICT, health services, automotive, and more.
