This course has evolved throughout the years. Normally offered to girls to obtain social graces and mastery of the household, Domestic Science later on became Home Economics. Afterwards, it became Technology and Home Economics. Today, it is Technology and Livelihood Education. In USA, a similar program is also offered in secondary schools. They sometimes call it Family and Consumer Science.

Fourth Year TLE is designed to develop and reinforce students' values, attitudes, and skills in the world of work through the practical application of the principles and techniques taught in Home and Family Economics, Agricultural Arts and Technology, Fishery Arts and Technology, Industrial Arts and Technology, and Entrepreneurship. (Asuncion et.al., 2004)
When it comes to Computer Education, some schools would start to offer it in the First Year Level. Other schools would offer it in the Fourth Year Level. Some schools also offer career pathways in TLE but do not offer computer education. Some schools would only offer selected areas in Third and Fourth Year such as Food Service and Computer Education. Tech-Voc secondary schools would usually offer all areas of TLE.
