The SDC invites you to join us for a thought-provoking discussion featuring insights from field practitioners in Laos and Albania, offering you a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights into two crucial educational and career junctures. The webinar will be held in English (without interpretation). Enhancing the governance of education systems and fostering the permeability of education and training systems is one of the key objectives of SDC. A fundamental tool to achieve this is Vocational Orientation, which serves to guide learners within the education and training system and to draw the attention of students and their families to opportunities in VET-related careers.Career Guidance, delivered, for example, by lower secondary schools or youth centres, as well as Employment Counselling during and after VET, help students to make informed choices about their further educational and professional career. This webinar serves as a platform to delve into proactive measures that can be implemented to facilitate informed decision-making during two critical transitions: the first being the shift from compulsory to post-compulsory education, and the second involving the progression from education to the world of work.

In many countries, academic education and vocational training pathways evolve in silos, with several negative consequences. For instance, academic and general education pathways are the only option to “climb the ladder” within the system; vocational and technical education and training are limited and devalued; non formal and informal learning are not recognised; finally, the education system lacks inclusivity and faces difficulties to respond to the needs of the labour market. How can we increase the “permeability” of education and training systems by building more bridges and ladder at the different levels? What models exist? What can SDC and its partners do in that sense? Agenda:

Learning Journey Interlinking Basic Education and VSD, Kick-off webinar (for french see below) Please find: The presentation | Link to recording Recording
The SDC has longstanding expertise in supporting its partner countries in basic education (BE) and vocational skills development (VSD). In 2017, a common thematic guidance on BE and VSD was elaborated with a clear purpose of strengthening their complementarity. In 2021, an external review found that there was widespread recognition of the importance of stronger linkages between VSD and BE, but that progress towards this goal should be accelerated. Therefore, the Education and VSD expert teams, together with their respective backstoppers, drafted a programmatic and practical how-to-do-note on how to operationalize the interlinkages between BE and VSD. The guide shows why a combination of basic education and vocational skills is needed for decent work and for inclusive and sustainable economic development, and how the SDC can operationalise BE/VSD interlinkages in its concrete work. We very much look forward to presenting this new guiding document to you and kick-start a series of learning events on this important topic. There will be a webinar in French (24 April, 14h-14h45 CEST) and another one in English (26 April, 11h-11h45 CEST). We invite you to already have a look at the publication before the webinar.

La DDC dispose d'une expertise de longue date dans le soutien à ses pays partenaires en matière d'éducation de base (EB) et de développement des compétences professionnelles (DCP). En 2017, une orientation thématique commune sur l'éducation de base et le développement des compétences professionnelles a été élaborée pour les deux sous-secteurs dans le but précis de renforcer leur complémentarité. En 2021, un examen externe a révélé que, bien que la pertinence d'un renforcement des liens soit largement reconnue, les progrès devraient être accélérés pour atteindre cet objectif. Par conséquent, et parallèlement à l’intégration des thématiques Éducation (EDU) et Emploi et revenu (e+i) dans une nouvelle section Économie et Éducation (E+E) à l'automne 2022, les équipes d'experts et leurs backstoppers respectifs, ont rédigé une note programmatique et pratique sur la manière de rendre opérationnels les liens entre l’éducation de base et le DCP. Le document montre pourquoi une combinaison est nécessaire pour un travail décent et un développement économique inclusif et durable, et comment l'opérationnalisation des liens entre l'éducation de base et le développement des compétences professionnelles peut être abordée par la DDC. Nous nous réjouissons de vous présenter ce nouveau document d'orientation et de lancer une série d'événements d'apprentissage sur ce sujet important. Il y aura un webinaire en français (24 avril, 14h-15h CEST) et un autre en anglais (26 avril, 11h-12 CEST). Nous vous invitons à consulter la publication en anglais – la version française sera disponible début mai.

UNESCO is pleased to announce that it will be organizing an online webinar to share key findings on therecent report entitled, “Enhancing TVET through digital transformation in developing countries”. Technological advancements and digitalisation are profoundly reshaping our work and lifestyle, business models and operations, and government policy choices. The increasing use of digital technologies (especially post COVID) is also driving change in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). UNESCO partnered with GIZ to conduct a study about the digital transformation and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) systems. The report provides a conceptual framework for analysing how TVET systems are implementing initiatives benefiting from the digital transformation. It also provides five case studies of promising policies in low- and middle-income countries including Brazil, India, Jamaica, Kenya, and Tunisia. During the online sessions practitioners from case study countries and experts from several international organizations will be discussing main findings of the report and current challenges faced by countries. Representatives from the field of TVET, experts, policymakers, and practitioners will be among the participants. Translations will be available in English and French.

L'UNESCO a le plaisir d'annoncer qu'elle organisera un webinaire en ligne afin de partager les principales conclusions du récent rapport intitulé << Renforcer l'EFTP grâce à la transformation numérique dans les pays en développement >>. Les avancées technologiques et la numérisation modifient profondément notre travail et notre mode de vie, les modèles et les opérations professionnels, ainsi que les choix politiques des gouvernements, les modèles et opérations d'entreprise, ainsi que les choix politiques des gouvernements. L'utilisation croissante des technologies numériques (en particulier post COVID) entraîne également des changements dans l'enseignement et la formation techniques et professionnels (EFTP). L'UNESCO en partenariat avec la GIZ a mené une étude sur la transformation numérique et les systèmes d'enseignement et de formation techniques et professionnels (EFTP). Le rapport propose un cadre conceptuel pour analyser la manière dont les systèmes d'EFTP mettent en oeuvre des initiatives bénéficiant de la transformation numérique. Il présente également cinq études de cas de politiques prometteuses dans des pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire, notamment le Brésil, l'Inde, la Jamaïque, le Kenya et la Tunisie. Au cours des sessions en ligne, des spécialistes des pays ayant fait l'objet d'une étude de cas et des experts de plusieurs organisations internationales discuteront des principales conclusions du rapport et des défis actuels auxquels les pays sont confrontés. Parmi les participants figureront des représentants du secteur de l'EFTP, des spécialistes, des décideurs politiques et des praticiens. L'interprétation sera disponible en anglais et en français.
