ne pas voir
La valorisation de la formation professionnelle
La formation professionnelle, principalement secondaire est mal perçue à l’Ile Maurice.
Elle n’attire pas les jeunes qui préfèrent ne pas voir de diplôme plutôt que de suivre et réussir un cursus de formation professionnelle.
Beaucoup s’orientent vers des études générales et académiques sans pour autant réussir aux examens, plutôt que d’aller apprendre un métier notamment dans les secteurs de l’industrie ou encore du bâtiment travaux publics.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

fail
the last sentence kind of expands on the one you are stuck on: the text seems to be saying that many young people would rather attend university/higher education, without ever getting a degree (Beaucoup suivre ... sans pour autant réussir...), than do a (implied, more useful) vocational training.
something like "... does not attract young people who would rather have a failed degree than complete a vocational training course."

I think "ne pas voir" is correct and there's no typo whatsoever in it. This is quite commonly used in French. I agree to "fail" but do not agree to "do without". "ignore" could be an other possible translation. How I came up to choosing " overlook is through "Visualize before Verbalize" technique. I looked at the previous phrase over and over. One word " perçue" is a game-changer here. Compare "Percu and Voir" . Aren't they from a similar platform instead "percu" and "Avoir".
Now visualize this: A student who has two paths in front of her/him. One path leads to obtaining a degree (no money) whereas the other path leads to a job, to earning money right away. At that particular point during education, a student must choose which way to go.
So s/he "overlooks" and prefers to attend a vocational training in order to be able to begin generating revenues.
It doesn’t interest/attract youth as they prefer to overlook graduation vs. attending and successfully completing a job-related training course.
Discussion
Hence they turn towards vocational training to help them learn un métier even if they don't have high school diploma. It helps them to be part of the workforce and not be left behind and not have any hope in a career even if they haven't completed high school diploma.
Hope my insight helped, it could be a typo in your document.
