Developing and Improving TVET Systems


The development of an effective TVET system is at the heart of education reform efforts. The chosen system establishes a framework which influences such important matters as access to, and the quality of, TVET.

TVET systems can have very different faces. TVET can:

  • Be the prime responsibility of Ministries of Education or Ministries of Labour (or Employment or Social Affairs). Often it is the responsibility of two Ministries.
  • Have two important components: theoretical and practical learning. It is through TVET that specialised knowledge and skills can be acquired at school, at specialised training centres and in the workplace.
  • Be part of secondary, post-secondary and higher education.
  • Involve initial training for beginners as well as further, career-long training for the workforce. TVET can also open the doors to post-secondary and higher education.
  • Be part of the formal education system, but it is also often learned informally in the workplace, and through non-formal means.
The UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre and its networks help UNESCO Member States develop TVET systems that best suit their particular needs and requirements.
