A joint study, "Building Better Formal TVET Systems: Principles and Practice in Low- and Middle-Income Countries," by the World Bank, the ILO, and UNESCO says TVET needs to adapt to globalization, technological progress, demographic transformation, and climate change.
The report brings together global knowledge on Technical Vocational and Education Training (TVET) reform to develop a common understanding on the promise of TVET in advancing employment and productivity. This is important in support of sustainable economic transformations and in light of challenges observed in TVET systems in low- and middle-income countries. The report also looks at lessons learned from TVET reforms, including from the COVID-19 pandemic, and offers a way forward toward more impactful and coordinated support of TVET systems in the future.
