Case Study on "National Policies Linking TVET with Economic Expansion: Lessons from Singapore"

Background paper prepared for the Education for All Global Monitoring Report 2012. Youth and skills: Putting education to work

Case Study on TVET reforms in Singapore from 1960 to 2010 in line with the countries economic development, from labour driven to capital driven to knowledge driven. "The Singapore Government believes in and has invested continuously and heavily in education and training, not only in the universities and polytechnics but especially so in vocational and technical education under the Institute of Technical Education (ITE). The Singapore experience will be shared in three parts. Part I traces the different phases of Singapore‟s economic development and their close alignment with educational policies and strategies since independence in 1965. Part II describes the transformation of ITE into a world-class education institution with its distinctive features and Part III identifies the key broad lessons from the Singapore experience."
