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.

Introducción
La pandemia de COVID-19 ha alterado nuestra forma de vida de una u otra manera. Esto, no sólo constituye una amenaza para la salud de millones de personas en todo el mundo, sino que también causará importantes cambios sociales y económicos, por ejemplo, la crisis está afectando la forma en que trabajamos y aprendemos de una manera sin precedentes. Cada uno de nosotros está sintiendo sus repercusiones de diferentes maneras. Lo que se necesita urgentemente son medidas para hacer frente a la crisis y sus repercusiones. En el contexto de educación y formación técnica y profesional (EFTP), los proveedores de formación y los responsables políticos están buscando soluciones rápidas, prácticas e innovadoras para hacer frente al problema. Es de suma importancia definir rápidamente una respuesta eficiente, e identificar y abordar los desafíos que enfrentan las instituciones de capacitación para, en la medida de lo posible, tratar de contrarrestar el impacto negativo de la crisis.

Objetivos
El propósito de esta encuesta creada por la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) y la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) y el Banco Mundial, es reunir información sobre buenas prácticas y compartir conocimientos que puedan ayudar a países alrededor del mundo a mitigar los efectos de la pandemia de COVID-19 en las áreas de la educación y formación. La encuesta está dirigida a:
• proveedores de educación y formación técnica y profesional inicial y continua
• responsables políticos (como los Ministerios de Trabajo y Educación)
• interlocutores sociales

La información reunida mediante esta encuesta contribuirá a la compilación e intercambio de conocimientos relacionados con experiencias y buenas prácticas, así como con estrategias y herramientas que puedan asistir a aprendices y formadores de EFTP, a responsables políticos, a interlocutores sociales y a otras partes interesadas a mitigar los impactos y gestionar procesos de aprendizaje de manera efectiva, así como aumentar la resiliencia en momentos difíciles provocados por la pandemia.

Le but de l’enquête est de rassembler des informations sur les bonnes pratiques et de permettre le partage des connaissances pour aider les pays du monde entier à limiter les effets de la pandémie de COVID-19 dans les domaines de l’éducation et de la formation.

Contexte
La pandémie de COVID-19 est en train de bouleverser nos modes de vie. Elle constitue non seulement une menace pour la santé de millions de personnes dans le monde, mais entraînera également des perturbations sociales et économiques majeures. La crise a un impact sur nos façons de travailler et d’apprendre d’une manière sans précédent. Chacun d’entre nous ressent ses répercussions de différentes manières. Nous avons donc urgemment besoin de réponses face à cette crise et à son impact. Dans le cadre de l’enseignement et formation professionnels et techniques (EFTP), les prestataires de formation et les décideurs politiques sont à la recherche de solutions rapides, pratiques et innovatrices pour s’attaquer à ce problème. Il est donc extrêmement important de définir une réponse efficace dans les plus brefs délais, ainsi que d’identifier et de relever les défis auxquels les institutions de formation sont confrontées, afin d’essayer d’atténuer l’impact négatif de la crise dans la mesure du possible.

Objectifs
Le but de l’enquête préparée par l’Organisation Internationale du Travail (OIT) et l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) et la Banque Mondiale, est de rassembler des informations sur les bonnes pratiques et de permettre le partage des connaissances pour aider les pays du monde entier à limiter les effets de la pandémie de COVID-19 dans les domaines de l’éducation et de la formation. L’enquête vise:
• les organismes d’enseignement et formation techniques et professionnels (EFTP) initiaux ou continus,
• les décideurs politiques (tels que les Ministères du Travail et de l’Éducation)
• les partenaires sociaux

Les informations recueillies par le biais de cette enquête contribueront à faire le point et à partager les connaissances sur les expériences et les bonnes pratiques, les stratégies et les outils, lesquels peuvent aider d’autres apprenants et formateurs d’EFTP, les décideurs politiques, les partenaires sociaux et d’autres parties prenantes à atténuer l’impact, gérer efficacement le processus d’apprentissage et de formation et augmenter la résilience pendant la période difficile que présente la pandémie.

The purpose of this survey was to gather information on good practices and to allow knowledge sharing, with the aim of helping countries around the world mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the areas of education and training.

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting our way of living. It not only poses a threat to the health of millions of people around the world but will also cause major social and economic disruption. The crisis is affecting the way we work and learn in an unprecedented manner. Each of us is feeling its repercussions in different ways. What is urgently needed are responses to address the crisis and its impact.

Within the context of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), training providers and policy-makers are looking for quick, practical and innovative solutions to tackle the issue. It is of utmost importance to define an efficient response in a timely manner, and identify and address the challenges faced by training institutions in order to attempt to counter the negative impact of the crisis, to the extent possible.

Objectives
The purpose of this survey prepared by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the World Bank Group (WBG), was to gather information on good practices and to allow knowledge sharing, with the aim of helping countries around the world mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the areas of education and training. The survey targets:
• providers of initial and continuing technical and vocational education and training;
• policy makers (such as Ministries of Labour and Education);
• social partners.

The information gathered through this survey will contribute to stocktaking and sharing knowledge about experiences and good practices, strategies and tools that can help other TVET learners and trainers, policy-makers, social partners and other stakeholders mitigate impact, manage the learning and training process effectively and increase resilience during the difficult period presented by the pandemic.
