Launching of the Inter-Country Quality Node on the Development of Technical and Vocational Skills Development (TVSD)

 

Abidjan, July 19, 2010. The Conference that will launch ADEA’s Inter-Country Quality Node (ICQN) on the Development of Technical and Vocational Competencies (DTVC) is beginning today in Abidjan. The theme will be “DTVC a tracks as factors for qualification, integration and economic and social development”.  The Conference follows ADEA’s 2008 Biennale held in Maputo, which clearly demonstrated the need to rise above the traditional, dichotomous vision, in which general post-primary education is viewed as separate from technical and vocational education and training (TVET), and the TVET is separate from alternative paths to TVSD. The conference is also a continuation of the Seminar on TVET reforms, held in Abidjan in October 2009, and the Bamako Conference on the same theme held in April 2010, which brought together WAEMU countries and Cape Verde. The Inter-Country Quality Node (ICQN) on the Development of Technical and Vocational Competencies (DTVC) will constitute a platform for discussion and collaboration between countries that consider as an urgent priority the development of policies and programs that will provide young people with qualifications that are in line with the economic and social challenges facing each country and the continent as a whole. The Abidjan conference is organized by ADEA and the Ministry of Technical and Vocational Education and Training of Côte d’Ivoire. The latter will be in charge of establishing, leading and steering ADEA’s Inter-Country Quality Node (ICQN) on the Development of Technical and Vocational Competencies (DTVC).
