Global developments including the transition to greener economies, the application of digital technologies in the world of work, and the [Coronavirus Disease 2019] COVID-19 pandemic, amongst others, are changing the way we live and work. These developments are driving technical and vocational education and training (TVET) systems to improve their capacity to identify the future skills demands and to expand access to skills development opportunities. As TVET adapts itself to the impacts of significant social, environmental, and economic disruptions, innovative practices emerge with the potential to rejuvenate the future of skills development. Schools, training centres and colleges have the potential to play a leading role to drive innovation in their local skills and innovation ecosystem.
This practical guide proposes a framework for TVET institutions to increase their capacities to drive innovation. The framework is developed on the basis of UNESCO-UNEVOC's Skills for Innovation Hubs (i-hubs) initiative, which included the participation of ten pilot TVET institutions from Africa, Asia and the Pacific and Europe. The practical guide provides a systematic, institution-wide, measurable and evidence-based methodology that enables TVET institutions to streamline innovation into their strategic planning, products and services, ecosystem engagement, and teaching and learning processes. By applying the UNEVOC Innovation Framework, TVET institutions can assess their preparedness to innovate, take actions to innovate learning processes and products and services, and develop concrete outputs for improvement. In doing so, institutions can inspire other entities in their local ecosystem to pursue the path of innovation.

This document is the final report of a symposium for policy makers in technical and vocational education (TVE) in Africa which was conducted in Dakar, Senegal from 21-24 August 1995. Participating countries were Cameroon, Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Senegal and Swaziland. The report touches briefly on TVE in the national education frameworks of the countries involved, cooperation between TVE institutions and enterprises and major challenges to TVE in Africa. There is a brief country report from each of the participating countries. Guidelines for the formulation of an action plan for the development of UNESCO's International Project on Technical and Vocational Education (UNEVOC) in Africa are suggested. Show less

The World TVET Database is UNESCO-UNEVOC's endeavour to provide concise, accurate and up-to-date information on technical and vocational education and training [TVET] systems around the world, in one single place. The country reports intend to enable students and researchers of TVET as well as policy makers and TVET professionals around the world to identify trends and challenges in TVET as well as information gaps, and to encourage comparative studies of different countries' TVET systems. The scope of available information on countries' TVET systems varies as greatly in quantity and quality as the TVET systems themselves. In this light, the World TVET Database kicks off with a pilot phase during which information on key aspects that apply in all contexts will be displayed under a small number of general headings, namely: TVET mission, legislation and national policy or strategy; structure of the TVET system - formal, non-formal and informal TVET systems; governance and financing; TVET teachers and trainers; qualifications and qualification frameworks; and current and ongoing reforms, projects and challenges. In addition, the database will feature statistical information, links to TVET institutions and UNEVOC Centres in the country, as well as links to relevant documents and sources. During the pilot phase, the database will concentrate mostly on descriptive information of countries' TVET systems. It is expected that the database will in time provide more analysis, with links to relevant documents such as research papers, analytical studies, legislative documents and policy reports relevant to each country.

What role can education play in the reconstruction process as communities recover and rebuild? How, specifically, can skills training, vocational education and technical learning contribute to this process? What role can [technical and vocational education and training] TVET play in building civic participation as well as building economic livelihoods? [These] are the key questions explored in the most recent issue published in the UNEVOC Discussion Papers Series. This discussion paper is the outcome of the first phase of a research project commissioned by UNESCO-UNEVOC, in partnership with the University of Oxford. The paper conceptualizes a holistic approach to TVET programming and planning in selected post-conflict countries in sub-Saharan Africa. It provides a review of relevant literature and elaborates the principal theoretical and practical issues shaping the current delivery of TVET in post-conflict countries. The second half of the paper introduces literature-based case studies of education and training arrangements in Liberia, Uganda and southern Sudan.
