The Operational Framework serves as a detailed guide for implementing the Foundation Semester (FS) model in VET institutions. It outlines the key components, processes, and best practices for delivering the FS, providing a clear roadmap for replication and adaptation by other institutions. To ensure its sustainability, the framework will be widely shared with VET providers, educational authorities, and stakeholders. Continuous updates will be made based on feedback and emerging trends in vocational education.
