This UNESCO – UNEVOC survey aims to gather insights and examples of gaps, challenges and trends shaping the future of TVET Teaching & Learning.
TVET Teaching Staff: Co-creators in the Teaching-and-Learning Process
In the traditional teaching model, teachers are expected to deliver knowledge through instruction and evaluation and students are expected to absorb this knowledge without much focus on practice and self-learning. In the future, we may find that learning involves not only instruction and evaluation but also co-development of lessons and tools. In such a system, teachers and students become co-creators of the teaching-and-learning process. Students acquire a sense of purpose in their education and take ownership of their learning. For teachers to be effective co-agents, they need the capacity to act purposefully and constructively to direct their professional growth and contribute to the growth of their students and colleagues.

What will this future look like? How will it impact the TVET Teacher & Trainer development? Are there enough mechanisms to engage TVET Teaching staff in future-oriented teaching & learning?
TVET in all forms and settings should be oriented to equipping youth and adults with relevant knowledge, skills and competencies for work and life. The teaching staff has a crucial role in assuring TVET quality and relevance. The teaching staff includes teachers, instructors, trainers, tutors, managers, administrators, extension agents, guidance staff and others. This staff needs capacities to ensure the relevance of TVET to current and evolving needs in the world of work, nationally, regionally and internationally.
