ICTs in TVET in AFRICA: Call for Participation

3rd UNESCO-UNEVOC TVET Summit at eLearning Africa, 27th of May 2009 in Dakar, Senegal

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are becoming increasingly important in education and training. They are opening up new learning pathways and can provide more widespread access to education and training. Yet in technical and vocational education and training (TVET), the use of ICTs is still very limited in many parts of the world. UNESCO-UNEVOC fosters the use of ICTs in TVET through its various activities. Some of the crucial issues that need to be addressed are capacity development in the use of ICTs in TVET learning and teaching, the nature of participation and collaborative learning in the context of accessibility, connectivity and localizability.

In May 2009, the 3rd UNESCO-UNEVOC TVET Summit on “Access and Inclusion: Improving TVET through ICT-based Information and Learning Solutions”, will take place in the context of eLearning Africa 2009 in Dakar, Senegal. This year, the Summit’s special feature will be mobile learning in TVET. In addition, issues such as knowledge sharing in TVET and integration of ICTs in community health education will be addressed.
