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.

Recognition of prior learning is an assessment process aimed at confirming and recognising the competencies a candidate has obtained outside the formal education and training environment. These competencies may have been gained through informal or nonformal training or through life or work experience.

The purpose of this policy is to provide advice to training providers and individuals seeking Trade Skills Recognition under the Vocational Education and Training Act 1996 (VET Act) for all Class A qualifications and for those Class B qualifications with a condition that the qualification can only be obtained by fulfilling the obligations of an apprentice under a training contract.

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.

This strategic plan charts the priorities to be addressed and the associated implementation agenda of the Grenada National Training Agency (NTA) for the period 2014 – 2016. The plan was derived from a combination of 1) a review of international, regional and national documentation on education and on the development of TVET implementation systems and priorities; 2) meetings, using a questionnaire format, to solicit feedback from 15 private and public sector entities involved in training and in technical and vocational work in Grenada; 3) repeat meetings with the NTA to seek clarification on their role and key functions and meetings with the Ministry of Education (MOE) to develop an understanding of their role in TVET education in the secondary school system; and 4) the hosting of a two-day strategy planning workshop with the private sector, NTA, TAMCC, MOE and other stakeholders held on 4th and 5th September 2013.

Access to training

Thumbnail

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.

This Strategy 2014 – 2020 builds on the achievements of the developments experienced in the implementation of the previous strategy 2008- 2013, but also takes into account the lessons learned. Given a widespread, diverse network of public and private training providers with different institutional set-ups and their specific training philosophies it remains a fundamental task to create a coherent E- TVET system. This will follow an agreed upon and harmonized policy set, sharing underlying principles and philosophies throughout the sector. Its scope will cover all forms of post primary education and training instruction that are directly linked with the acquisition of vocational and technical skills at all levels, from semi-skilled to technician level, in initial and continuous training courses.

The aim of this strategy development is to make a significant contribution and achieve better alignment and cohesive governance in the E-TVET sector. Ultimately, building on past goals and achievements and current Government priorities, the strategy will assist in building a cohesive and structured employment oriented (demand-led) TVET sector that is well managed.

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Ethiopia seeks to create competent and self-reliant citizens to contribute to the economic and social development of the country, thus improving the livelihoods of all Ethiopians and sustainably reducing poverty.

This National TVET Strategy replaces an older version adopted in 2002. It reflects an important paradigm shift of recent years which places quality and relevance of TVET as its priority. Global experience has shown that the mere expansion of TVET does not solve the problems of unemployment and low productivity of the economy. TVET has to respond to the competence needs of the labour market and create a competent, motivated and adaptable workforce capable of driving economic growth and development.

Under ESDP III, Ethiopia made significant progress in education. Access at all levels of the education system increased at a rapid rate in line with a sharp increase in the number of teachers, schools and institutions.

The achievements under ESDP III are fundamental to allow Ethiopia to progress towards becoming a middle-income economy by the year 2025. Challenges, however, remain in order to realize this long-term vision. Because of the progress made during the previous years and within this long-term vision, the focus of education policies under ESDP IV will shift towards priority programs which address these remaining challenges. This includes TVET and adult education.

Education is the process of initiating and preparing man through training. It provides desirable and worthwhile broad and in depth modes of thought, skills, attitudes and understanding needed for the full development of the human thinking and actions. Education makes man aware of his own potential and responsibility to change and improve his own condition and that of his society; it embodies within it science and technology.

In the light of this, the following policy focuses on issues of establishment of schools and expansion of education and training opportunities; access and equity; curriculum, examinations and certification; teacher education; tertiary and higher education and training; educational financing, and management and administration are proposed with the aim of guiding Formal, Non-Formal, Vocational, Tertiary and Higher Education and Training, as well as, the promotion of Science and Technology in the country.

The Education Policy Document entitled “Education for a Learning Society” emphasizes the on-going nature of learning. It conveys a vision of a Seychellois society, which is alert, responsive and pro-active. This ‘learning society’ remains firmly in control of its own destiny by embracing change, without losing contact with the values that constitute its identity.

Cette stratégie s’inscrit dans la perspective d’une mise en œuvre des dispositions pertinentes de la Constitution, des lois d’orientation de l’éducation, des orientations majeures du Document de Stratégie de Réduction de la Pauvreté (DSRP), ainsi que des engagements du Togo en faveur de l’éducation pour tous (EPT) et plus particulièrement de l’universalisation de l’enseignement primaire (OMD n° 2) comme objectif à atteindre par le système éducatif en 2020.

Le développement attendu du système éducatif doit être soutenu par une augmentation de la part de l’éducation dans les dépenses de l’Etat. De plus, il commande la prise en compte de la formation professionnelle comme un moyen de professionnalisation des enseignements, de développement des ressources humaines, d’amélioration de la productivité du travail dans les secteurs informels agricole et non agricole et un mécanisme de régulation des flux à la fin de chaque niveau d’études, en vue de l’insertion des sortants dans le système de production.

The Government of Trinidad and Tobago has developed a framework for sustainable development based on seven interconnected pillars as the cornerstone of this strategy. One of these pillars is to develop ‘A More Diversified, Knowledge Intensive Economy – Building on the Native Genius of the People.’ To meet this goal and, as a part of Trinidad and Tobago’s response to rapid changes in both the global and local economic environment, there is need for significant changes in the landscape of tertiary education, technical and vocational education and training, and lifelong learning. This policy paper is the culmination of the efforts of several ministerial and professional educators concerned with tertiary education and training development in Trinidad and Tobago.
