SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This virtual conference took place from September 28 to October 3 on UNESCO-UNEVOC's e-Forum and brought together 165 participants from 57 countries. This virtual conference was the twelfth in a series of moderator-driven discussions introduced by UNESCO-UNEVOC in 2011. Conducted on the UNEVOC e-Forum--a global online community of over 4,000 members--and guided by an expert, these discussions provide a platform for sharing of experiences, expertise and feedback. This virtual conference provided stakeholders an opportunity to inform UNESCO's strategy for technical and vocational education and training (TVET) for the period 2016 to 2021. The questions addressed at the conference included: (1) What should be the guiding principles of the new UNESCO strategy for TVET; (2) What are the emerging issues and trends in TVET to which the strategy should respond; (3) What are the most important elements that should be contained in the strategy; and (4) What should the role of UNESCO be in delivering the strategy? Participants in the virtual conference were invited to respond to a simple series of questions on each of the four topics discussed at the conference. The responses are set out in the tables that are appended. [This conference was moderated by Mike Campbell.].
