Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) 2012, para. 14
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The central role of education in accelerating progress towards all Millennium Development Goals was recognized by the General Assembly in the context of the High-level Plenary Meeting on the Millennium Development Goals in 2010 (resolution 65/1, para. 71 (c)). Technical and vocational education and training is often regarded as a powerful tool in poverty reduction and development strategies, as it provides individuals with the requisite qualifications and skills to enable them to contribute to various sectors of the economy. "TVET is extremely suitable for contributing to national socioeconomic development and meeting the Millennium Development Goals through human resources development. When TVET curricula are focused on creating 'job-creators' (self-employed workers) rather than 'job-seekers', unemployment in developing countries can be reduced, thereby allowing developing countries to get closer to meeting the MDGs".
