Burundi is bound to the 4th Sustainable Development Goal which
insists on the quality of education that guides development. This article aims
to analyze the way Burundi implements this goal in the area of technical and
vocational with a strong eye to continuity of education. We used the
documentary to inquire about different programs’ curricula. Results are that
the technical and vocational education in Burundi is set in seven phases that
are: 1)
On-the-job training, 2) Handicraft training, 3) Vocational training, 4)
Vocational education, 5) Professional internship, 6) Level I technical and
vocational training, and 7) Level II technical and vocational training.
