Case Studies from the Arab States
At the Arab States regional workshop on “TVET for Sustainable Development” (Manama, Bahrain, September 2005), delegates from regional UNEVOC Centres were concerned about the lack of learning tools available to teachers wishing to integrate sustainable development into TVET programmes. According to regional experts, there were almost no suitable learning resources available in Arabic, and UNESCO-UNEVOC was asked for assistance in meeting this challenge. At the end of 2006, TVET experts from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Oman and Syria were asked to collect good practice examples of integrating sustainable development into TVET in their countries. These case studies reflect the nature and reality of education and training programmes in the Arab States and highlight different approaches TVET institutions have taken to integrate issues of sustainability into their programmes. They also demonstrate the important role of the UNEVOC Network in the implementation of relevant national and regional programmes.
