Abstract: | This paper presents the research methodology employed in an Appraisal Study on TVET,
carried out by two Italian experts in the framework of the support of the Italian
Development Cooperation to the Education Sector Development Program (ESDP). The
study explored the needs for the appropriate balance of skills and qualifications
required at the time. Focus was made at the created imbalance in skill hierarchy and the
skills demanded in the market and tuning it to educational developments at Junior
Technical Colleges (JTCs) levels. They designed and applied various instruments, as
skilled manpower demand survey, complementing available data in the country. They
also carried out economic analysis, examining the trends and the structural change in the labor market. The empirical result obtained by the survey is strongly supportive of the JTCs Project, initiated by MOE at the time. The study identified human and physical
resources required for setting up the JTC programs. |
