Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Technical and vocational education and training systems are crucial to equip all youth and adults with knowledge, skills and competencies and promote entrepreneurship and lifelong learning, and their importance to skills development must be fully recognized. In this respect, the Special Rapporteur recalls the provisions in the Convention on Technical and Vocational Education (1989), according to which technical and vocational education and training consists of "all forms and levels of the educational process involving, in addition to general knowledge, the study of technologies and related sciences and the acquisition of practical skills, know-how, attitudes and understanding relating to occupations in the various sectors of economic and social life" (art. 1 (a)).
