Improving the image of TVET

Despite the benefits of TVET on personal, professional and national development, it remains a relatively unattractive option to young people compared to, for example, academic education. Education systems in many developing countries, in particular, have TVET often placed as a second choice or "second rate" education.

Key discussions

  • Understand the factors influencing the image of TVET, and the impact this image has on individuals/business/society
  • Appreciate some of the factors and challenges impacting the decision of young people when choosing their career/education path
  • Identify suitable measures that can help improve the image of TVET in their context
  • Establish how to assess the impact of measures to improve the image of TVET
