TVET Reform in the Arab States


Developing cooperative responses to important TVET reform issues was the focus of a UNESCO regional experts meeting held in Amman, capital of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, 1–3 August 2005. The meeting, organised by UNESCO-Beirut and UNESCO-UNEVOC and hosted by the Jordanian UNEVOC Centre (the National Center for Human Resource Development), had as a primary purpose the consideration of a draft set of project proposals on TVET development in the Arab region. Seven joint proposals were put forward, and the experts debated the priority of the various issues and the link between such proposals to existing national and regional plans of action for development. The seven proposals were for:

  • Developing a regional system for qualifications in TVET
  • Developing standards for testing and evaluation in TVET
  • TVET curriculum development for training of teachers and instructors
  • The use of ICTs in TVET
  • HRD for the tourism sector
  • Closer links between industry and TVET
  • Gender mainstreaming between industry and TVET
UNESCO will be supporting Member States to prepare more detailed proposals that might be put to donor organizations for implementation and funding.

Participants in the Meeting were 38 officials, experts, and specialists responsible for TVET development in the Arab States Region and from international agencies. The experts were representatives of: Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Kuwait, Palestine, Yemen, Oman, UNESCO, ILO, UNRWA, German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ), European Commission/Euro-Jordanian Action for the Development of Enterprise (EJADA), Arab Centre for Human Resources Development (ACHRD-ILO).
