Following the UNESCO-UNEVOC international meeting on 'Innovation and excellence in TVET teacher and trainer education' at Hangzhou, China on November 8-10th 2004, the Chinese Ministry of Education through Tianjin University, UNESOC-UNEVOC and the German government, through InWent, jointly organized a follow-up conference on 'Development and implementation of a Master Degree standard for teacher and trainer education in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in East and South East Asia'. The conference took place at Tainjin, China on December 9th and 10th 2005. [This paper] is a revised version of the manuscript prepared by [the author] for that conference. The paper points to questions which the author thinks research could address in order to provide guidance to the formulation of national development of policy on TVET. The questions are derived from what the author sees as frequently 'talked about' issues in international policy debate on TVET. Research is used in a wide sense, not merely 'academic' research. The issues include: labour market monitoring, keeping abreast of technology, national training authorities, national training funds, national qualifications frameworks, financing, private institutions, modularization of curricula, human resource development, coping with management complexity, inducing industry to do more training, dual systems of basic TVET, low dosage TVET in mainstream secondary schools, TVET for illiterate and semi-literate adults, and indicators of performance that relate to effectiveness, equity, cost and efficiency. Especially in the early stages of policy formulation, research on such matters can provide relevant knowledge when major reorganization of TVET is considered by a country.

Entrepreneurship education as a tool to support self-employment in Kenya

In recent years, flexibility, adaptability and lifelong learning have become major objectives of best practice, in ... Show more
In recent years, flexibility, adaptability and lifelong learning have become major objectives of best practice, in addition to employability. The notion of ‘best practice’ was introduced in [technical and vocational education and training] TVET institutions in Kenya in 1994 and continued to this day because there is a pool of qualified personnel to sustain the programme. Many TVET graduates become self-employed and apply the entrepreneurial skills they have acquired in technical training institutions in their businesses. The response of TVET institutions in Kenya to the continued training needs of business aligns training closer to the demands of the labour market. Kenya has a well-established system of involving enterprises in establishing the content of training, which makes it possible to train young people more effectively for the workplace.
