Technical Support for the Comprehensive Technical Education Initiative with Egypt II (TCTI II) The Egyptian labour market faces enormous challenges. Well trained non-academic skilled workers are in short supply, and youth unemployment is high. Women are at a particular disadvantage. The Egyptian technical and vocational education and training (TVET) system is inadequately funded and not very efficient. This means it is not able to guarantee training to a level that meets the needs of the labour market. There is a lack of recognised, high-quality vocational qualifications, and likewise a shortage of qualified staff and technical equipment in technical schools. This is where the national TVET reform strategy Technical Education (TE 2.0) comes in. It aims to improve technical education and the image it presents, as well as increasing its relevance in the labour market. Objective Implementation of Egypt’s technical education reform is more transparent, better quality, more relevant to the labour market and more gender-equitable. |
