'Building better formal TVET systems' publication launch
The event organized by UNESCO, The World Bank, and ILO will launch the publication on Building better formal TVET systems.
The report brings together the global knowledge on Technical Vocational and Education Training (TVET) reform to develop a common understanding on the promise of TVET in advancing employment and productivity in support of sustainable economic transformation and on the main challenges observed in TVET systems in low- and middle-income countries, and on the lessons learned from TVET reforms, including the experience gained during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on this understanding, the report offers a joint way forward towards better TVET that can become the basis for more impactful and coordinated support of TVET systems in the future.
The virtual event will include a presentation of the report and a high-level panel discussion. The panel will use the key messages of the report to discuss country experiences with TVET reform as well as to reflect on how the report’s findings can be operationalized to support better TVET. Other participants at the launch event include the World Bank Vice President for Human Development, the ILO Assistant Director General for Jobs and Social Protection, the UNESCO Assistant Director General for Education, and representatives from government, TVET institutions, and youth.
