Assessing governance and financing of vocational education strategies: A methodology
English
TVET institutions
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions play an important role in equipping young people to enter the world of work and in improving their employability throughout their careers. The Global KSP collects and shares information from TVET institutions on how they respond to changing labour market needs, adopt new training technologies, expand the outreach of their training, and improve the quality of their services including in the areas of governance, financing, teacher education, and industry partnerships.
Financing of training
Initial education and training and lifelong learning benefit individuals, employers and society as a whole. Economic principles dictate that the costs for services with public and private benefits should be shared between public and private funding, or else too little training will be provided or taken up. Effective mechanisms for financing skills development vary according to countries’ economic and political circumstances and the degree and level of social dialogue established.

Developed on the basis of the European Commission’s Budget Support Guidelines 2017 – Annex 3, which focuses on assessing the credibility of sector policies, and tailored to vocational education, this methodology can be used to identify strengths, risks and areas for improvement in governance and financing, as well as an input to policy dialogue between the European Union and partner countries. It may also be used as a method for measuring policy progress over time in these two areas.
