International organizations

Information is gathered from other international organizations that promote skills development and the transition from education and training to work. The Interagency Group on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (IAG-TVET) was established in 2009 to share research findings, coordinate joint research endeavours, and improve collaboration among organizations working at the international and national levels.

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.

In an effort to better capture and analyze the overall level of expenditure in the technical vocational education and training sector in the Philippines, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority in collaboration with the International Institute for Educational Planning conducted a survey among training providers. The objectives of the study were: to assess the level of public and private expenditure on TVET; to analyze the costs of TVET in absolute and relative terms; to compare the costs of TVET according to categories of providers, duration of courses, training areas and modes of delivery; to measure the funding of TVET and the contribution from public sector, companies, individuals and external development assistance; to provide a detailed review and analysis of TVET activities in the country, in both the public and private sectors; and to propose a methodology for classifying TVET activities and measuring training expenditures in the Philippines. The main purpose of the study was to generate new knowledge on cost and financing, in view of informing policy decisions and guiding further research.
