In spite of the negative impact of wars on Iraq, sanctions and the current security situation, national and international contributions to develop the basic tools for post-conflict Iraq's recovery and reconstruction are continuing. Education in general and [technical and vocational education and training] TVET in particular, top the agenda for action and three main contributors, UNESCO, UN-HABITAT and the German Government, in cooperation with the Iraqi Government, organised a forum to analyse the current situation and develop a vision of immediate and future action. The forum discussed selected TVET issues, the challenges facing the anticipated re-alignment of the TVET system in Iraq to reduce unemployment among Iraqi youth, a number of international and regional experiences in conflict/post-conflict economies in order to come to a shared vision and better understanding of the main issues related to TVET in Iraq, and a future look to address these issues.

The changing status of vocational higher education in contemporary Japan and the Republic of Korea: a discussion paper

This paper provides an overview of vocationally-oriented higher education institutions in Japan and South Korea, known as senmongakko and jeonmun daehack respectively. These institutions were surprisingly competitive against universities in the 1990s and early 2000s, although they currently seem to be losing this competitive edge, mainly due to the increasing vocationalisation of the curriculum in the mainstream universities. Despite their significance for understanding the higher education systems in both Japan and South Korea, very little (and virtually nothing of an academic nature) has been published about the vocationally-oriented higher institutions. The paper seeks to locate senmongakko and jeonmun daehack in a historical, comparative and organisational framework.

Language competences are a key dimension of modernising European education systems, and this staff working document [SWD] is part of a larger policy initiative contributing to Europe 2020. It offers analysis and insight to support the Commission communication on 'Re-thinking Education: a blueprint to invest in the skills of the future for better economic and social outcomes'. Raising the language competences of children, young people and adults will foster the mobility of workers and students and improve the employability of the European workforce. Therefore, improved language competences will contribute to achieving the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy of growth and jobs. This SWD presents ground-breaking evidence. It draws on the new European Survey on Language Competences (ESLC), which assesses pupils' knowledge of the first and second foreign languages at the end of lower secondary education. Show less
