Results revealed that there were mainly four problematic issues related to the "Computer Technology and Programming" curriculum. These were: poor quality of education, inadequacy of industry-based education, limited areas of specialization, and poor environment and inadequate opportunities. Results were discussed extensively and recommendations were offered regarding the structural problems of vocational colleges and the "Computer Technology and Programming" curriculum.
