International Approaches to TVET Development

The UNEVOC Training Seminar


Twenty senior officials from the Afghan Ministry of Education and four international experts from the Philippines, Malaysia, Pakistan and Indonesia participated in the workshop "International Approaches to TVET Development - the UNEVOC Training Seminar" in Kabul, Afghanistan, 21-23 November 2005.

UNESCO-UNEVOC and UNESCO Kabul jointly organised this training seminar to help officials in the Ministry of Education in Afghanistan overcome difficulties linked to the lack of international educational exposure in recent years. The main purpose of the workshop was to guide the Ministry of Education through current international training approaches in TVET.

The seminar consisted of

  • a round-table discussion,
  • presentations on topics such as global international trends in TVET, curriculum re-development, and building the capacity of TVET teachers, and
  • a visit to the Afghan-Korean Vocational Training Centre.
After a long period of isolation from the outside world, participants were pleased to hear about developments in TVET in other countries, particularly those in a post-conflict situation. They could also draw on the knowledge and experience of UNESCO-UNEVOC and foreign consultants with regard to future directions for TVET in Afghanistan. All participants highly appreciated the opportunity to present and discuss their views on TVET development in Afghanistan.

During the present period of societal reconstruction, the TVET rehabilitation goals and requirements identified by the participants of this seminar were:

  • the appointment of a TVET advisor to the Afghan Ministry of Education,
  • the "establishment of a relevant TVET curriculum based on current needs in Afghanistan, and
  • the "establishment of a national TVET framework, including TVET policies.
At the end of the workshop, the participants expressed their high satisfaction. They indicated that they had learned a lot to assist them with strengthening and upgrading TVET in Afghanistan.

UNESCO-UNEVOC organized follow-up activities for the country in 2006, particularly a Mobile Training Team for Afghan TVET experts on TVET development, Manila, Philipines, 25-29 April 2006.
