Access for all to good quality education, vocational training and workplace learning is a fundamental principle of social cohesion and economic growth. Some groups of people may require targeted attention if they are to benefit from education, training and employment opportunities.

This is particularly the case for disadvantaged youth, lower skilled workers, people with disabilities, and people in rural communities. The attractiveness of vocational education and training is enhanced when combined with entrepreneurship training and when public policies encourage utilization of higher skills by business.

The Revised Recommendation concerning Technical and Vocational Education (2001) sets forth general principles, goals and guidelines to be applied by each individual country according to its socio-economic needs and available resources in a changing world, with a view to enhancing the status of technical and vocational education. It is a standard-setting instrument for national TVET systems which takes into consideration contemporary world issues such as the need for gender inclusiveness, environmentally sound processes and the utilization of information and communication technology as well as the need to make TVET available as a part of lifelong learning. It also takes into account the need to bring TVET to groups of people who are marginalized by poverty or war. The document is therefore an effective instrument for addressing the issues that confront TVET today.
