Assessment of the educational attainment of students 2014, para. 56
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- As described by the Special Rapporteur in his previous report (A/67/310), technical and vocational education and training (TVET) is an integral part of the right to basic education at the secondary level. Educational institutions must be supported to develop quality innovative programmes, including technical and vocational training and lifelong learning, geared to bridging skills gaps in order to advance sustainable development objectives. In fact, skills development through TVET has emerged as a leading concern in improving the quality of education in an increasingly globalized economy. Such training has profound implications in the twenty-first century for radically different knowledge-based economies and societies. This is all the more important in view of the need to better promote the skills required by the emerging "green economy", requiring novel means to assess competencies and skills in "green technology".
