Tajikistan and other countries in Central Asia, such as Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, are striving to align technical and vocational education and training (TVET) with their economic realities. Job shortage and the gap between TVET and the needs of employers must be addressed by these countries. This publication details how TVET has evolved in Tajikistan and other countries in the region. It recommends improvements through the use of a labor market information system to match skills supply with industry demand, decentralization of governance and management, integration of information and communication technology for lifelong learning, and intensified regional collaboration and experience sharing.

This paper presents the key findings of a recent World Bank funded-study on the cost-effectiveness, internal efficiency and cost structure of technical and vocational education (TVE) in Mozambique, undertaken by AUSTRAL Consultoria e Projectos Lda, Maputo, in consultation with the Ministries of Education and Labour. The study examined the current TVE system in relation to the labour market. The study revealed that: women reported a relatively higher unemployment rate than men; graduates from schools teaching agriculture are not as inclined to pursue further studies as graduates from schools specialising in commerce and industry; and relatively more of the respondents reported being a student in the central part of the country compared to other parts of the country. The findings of the study suggest that the absorption of graduates into the labour market is fairly high, in spite of a considerable number of graduates continuing with higher studies.
