Note that the Federal Ministry of Education introduced the full enforcement of biometric attendance verification across all centres participating in the Federal Government's Technical and Vocational Education and Training TVET Programme to strengthen transparency, accountability, and effective service delivery.

The enforcement, started with batch A and took effect from 1 February 2026, follows a circular issued in December 2025 directing all TVET Training Centres to procure and deploy biometric attendance systems for real-time monitoring.

The Ministry states unequivocally that biometric verification is now the sole approved method for validating attendance under the TVET Programme.

Accordingly, all payments to Training Centres and monthly stipends to trainees are now processed strictly on the basis of verified biometric attendance records. Any Training Centre that fails to comply will not be eligible for payment, and affected trainees will forfeit their stipends. Persistent non-compliance will result in removal from the programme, with trainees redeployed to fully compliant centres.
