Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) 2012, para. 65
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Information and communication technologies have opened new paths to distance learning. As a result, technical and vocational education and training is also provided in a "virtual learning environment" by way of Internet-based education and training and e-learning and e-training initiatives. A multiplicity of learning sites and modes exist for delivering technical and vocational education and training. While such modes of delivery can provide for greater access to it, "online learning can also lead to deskilling of teachers through the fragmentation and segmentation of tasks. Moreover, providers of dubious quality are using Internet-based education and training simply to cut costs by undermining teachers' working conditions, particularly in off-shore provision". This is an emerging issue which requires serious attention in the context of developments and policy reforms in technical and vocational education and training.
