Developing and Improving TVET Systems


The development of an effective TVET system is at the heart of education reform efforts. The chosen system establishes a framework which influences such important matters as access to, and the quality of, TVET. As part of Education for All (EFA), UNESCO-UNEVOC and its networks help UNESCO Member States develop TVET systems that best suit their particular needs and requirements.
