Comparative study of vocational, technical education and training system in Myanmar, England and Germany: lessons learned from developing countries

There are several issues and problems that most countries are facing, such as energy crisis, environmental impacts, poverty and lack of human resources. In this regard, governments, international organisations and non-profit organisations are willing to cooperate to overcome the global challenges and threats. Based on collective efforts to find the best solutions, the elites, who are responsible for the policy matters of developing countries, are starting to recognise the importance of human resource development through technical and vocational education and training [VTET] because it is believed to be the master key to unlock the above mentioned issues. This paper was based on a comparative study of the TVET systems in industrial countries such as England and Germany, and with Myanmar. Based on this comparison, the suthor intends the recommendations to be used to improve TVET in Myanmar and other developing countries.
