to strengthen UNEVOC Network in the Caribbean
A national UNEVOC Seminar was held on 23 September, 2010 at the Mona Visitors Lodge at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Jamaica.
The seminar held jointly by the UNESCO and the School of Education at the UWI sought to sensitize TVET stakeholders about the UNESCO’s mandates in TVET, the UNEVOC International Centre in Bonn and the various resources and services available to persons around the world.
There were about thirty persons in attendance including TVET experts from the Ministry of Education, TVET senior administrative personnel and TVET lecturers from the University of the West Indies, the University of Technology and the Mico University, principals and teachers from high schools, experts from the leading National Training Agency (NTA) in Jamaica as well as other interested private providers of TVET services in the country. Discussions centered on the TVET sector in Jamaica with a focus on the needs and challenges of the TVET sector, specifically the need for TVET policy development.
The University of the West Indies gave a brief presentation about new Masters and Doctoral programmes in TVET to be introduced at the UWI in January 2011 and a regional TVET conference to be held in collaboration with UNESCO in 2012. Several participants were able to register on the UNEVOC E-Forum at the seminar.
Building on the success of this seminar, the UNESCO Kingston cluster office plans to hold a series of national seminars in the Caribbean region.
