Towards quality assurance of technical and vocational education and training

One of the recommendations of the Third International Congress on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) held in Shanghai in 2012 was to explore the possibility of developing international guidelines on quality assurance for the recognition of qualifications based on learning outcomes. Following this recommendation, UNESCO Bangkok conducted a regional study to examine quality assurance mechanisms supporting the qualification process in 13 countries in the Asia-Pacific region. This report, "Towards Quality Assurance of Technical and Vocational Education and Training," features the results of that study, providing information to help Member States optimize quality assurance mechanisms for TVET qualifications, and respond more effectively to both national and international needs and developments.
