COMMUNITY RESPONSIVE TEVT
Technical and Vocational Education still would not be the first choice of many parents for their children’s tertiary education. It is often relegated as the last recourse for those who really cannot make it in universities and degree granting colleges. At the same time, countries are competing for skilled workers who can be the engines of their developing economies. What is happening?
Many times, education and training programs provided are planned and implemented by people who had been schooled in the traditional model where one starts at the grades and end up with a degree. Afterwards, one gets into a job. Society has evolved much faster than the models used in public education and training.
As changes happen, new demands emerge and businesses in constant touch with opportunities in the market respond to these demands much more creatively. As such, there is a proliferation of training companies and programs anyone can access through the web or any other means. Thus, comes the issue of certification and recognition. With this, the mobility of credentials.
In other levels such as the villages where people are segregated from the world of the web, the demands for training are often neglected and residents in these villages still practice know how their parents passed on from their parents as well. They are desperate to do well in the changing market but they are not even aware of the training out there. How do we respond to these? |
