Sustainable Vocational Training Toward Industrial Upgrading and Economic Transformation - Asian Development Bank
1 Overview
1.1 Forum Background
Developing relevant skills for industrial upgrading and economic transformation is a key challenge facing many growing and middle-income countries. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) conducted a knowledge sharing event to bring together policy makers and practitioners around the topic of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) for meeting national economic objectives. The focus of the knowledge sharing event was on (i) best practice and models for supporting sustainable vocational training; (ii) the role of the government, private sector, enterprises, and vocational training schools; (iii) improving vocational training in a rapidly changing world; (iv) financing vocational training; and (v) policy environment for vocational training governance and management. The first part of the event took place in Beijing on 2–3 December 2013. Demands and policies for improved vocational training in a changing world and good practices of developed and developing countries were discussed with the goal of identifying opportunities for supporting TVET in the PRC and responding to skills challenges in other Asian countries. The second part of the event took place on 4–5 December 2013 and consisted of visits to training facilities in Guangdong province, showcasing good practices and sharing lessons with practitioners.
The event Sustainable Vocational Training toward Industrial Upgrading and Economic Transformation
is part of the annual PRC–ADB Knowledge Sharing Platform and was supported and organized by the Regional Knowledge Sharing Initiative, a joint initiative between the PRC and ADB.
More than 90 participants from 16 countries participated in this event.
1.2 Forum Introduction
The forum opened with an overview of the growing importance of the PRC in the global economy. This economic transformation is leading to an increasing emphasis on rebalancing rural and urban growth and moving from a manufacturing base to a high skills value-added economy. Human resources are replacing natural resources as an important indicator of a country’s wealth. The PRC’s rapid transformation offers greater opportunities for the country to continue this successful development, underpinned by new reforms in the TVET system. Emerging challenges were well-recognized in the third plenary session of the 18th Communist Party of China Central Committee, and the decision to further reform the TVET system was clearly defined. The PRC’s increased efforts to promote environmentally sustainable and inclusive growth, South–South cooperation, and TVET reform came together in this knowledge sharing forum on TVET industrial upgrading and economic transformation.
Rural and urban income disparities compound the challenges that PRC faces and create extra complexity for education in general. The forum heard that there are three key issues in education:
While participation at the tertiary level has expanded from 3% to 24%, it is still lower than the global average of 30%. Expansion at the higher education level will require public–private partnerships (PPP) and reforms to improve quality and internal efficiency.
Another key challenge is the improvement in the quality and labor market relevance through the introduction of competency standards, competency-based training, and the promotion of school and industry-based collaboration. There is a need to further align TVET graduate outcomes to the industry’s demand for higher skill levels. Currently, there is a mismatch between the skills required in industries and the skills of graduates entering the labor market.
Having appropriate human resources has been one of the country’s key constraints in recent times. There is a need to adopt new technologies and innovation in moving from manufacturing to an emphasis on services. An inclusive approach to skills development should include schools increasing their overall capacity to deliver technology skills to everyone for an appropriately skilled
