New Project on ICT Use in Technical and Vocational Education

13-10-2003 (Bangkok)
Teacher trainers and curriculum developers in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Myanmar, Nepal and Viet Nam will benefit from a project to improve management and delivery of Technical and Vocational Education (TVE) through the use of ICT. Funded by Japan, the project is being implemented by the UNESCO Office in Bangkok.
The project has a strong infrastructure component such as the supply and equipment of departments or commissions of TVE, vocational education and training institutions, curriculum development centres with suitable computer equipment, Internet and multi-media software. It also foresees providing training in their use to directors, principals, curriculum developers, vocational teacher trainers, and expanding access to teaching and learning materials and to enrich delivery of TVE.

"The application of ICTs offers multiple learning pathways and widespread access to TVE, breaking down barriers to learning and teaching connected to distance and location, so vocational educators can easily have opportunities to update and upgrade their knowledge and skills", states the project website.

Over the last 10 years UNESCO has helped developing TVE in the Asia and Pacific Region, mainly through its International Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (UNEVOC), encompassing system and policy development, research, and information, communication and networking.
