National Strategic Framework for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) 2018–2022
English
Governments
Governments hold a wealth of knowledge on skills development, and are increasingly realizing the value of learning from each others’ experiences. Their policy documents, programme evaluations, and research findings contain their experience and ideas on how to better link skills to employment
Skills policies and strategies
Skills and employment policies should be viewed together. The full value of one policy set is realized when it supports the objectives of the other. For investments in education and training to yield maximum benefit to workers, enterprises, and economies, countries’ capacities for coordination is critical in three areas: connecting basic education to technical training and then to market entry; ensuring continuous communication between employers and training providers so that training meets the needs and aspirations of workers and enterprises, and integrating skills development policies with industrial, investment, trade, technology, environmental, rural and local development policies.
National policies and initiatives
National legislation, policies and initiatives on the issue of training and skills development and the world of work.
Policy and strategy
Recommendations and advice on resolving policy challenges related to skills development systems and their linkages to the world of work. Concise syntheses of experience from the international organizations.
In 2018, the government of Lebanon launched the National Strategic Framework for Technical and Vocational Training (NSF 2018-2022) with the support of UNICEF and ILO, which aims to expand access to TVET, enhance its quality and relevance, and improve TVET governance.
The NSF introduced strategic priorities for the reform of the TVET sector over the 5 years (2018-2022) reflected in 8 building blocks: i) inclusiveness of the TVET system, ii) improved HR management system, iii) National Qualification System centred on a competency-based approach, iv) functional quality assurance system, v) mainstreaming life skills and entrepreneurship education, vi) provision of up-to-date job-related equipment and materials, vii) involvement of employers’ and workers’ representatives, and viii) diversified financing framework.
