Timor-Leste • Two closest countries Indonesia & Australia • Independence May 2002 • Population 1,200,000 • Official languages Portuguese & Tetum • Semi presidential parliamentary system • Much of infrastructure destroyed
Our Priorities • Increase skills to build the nation • Ensure our people can share in the prosperity of our future. • Create new businesses, new jobs and better services in every region of Timor-Leste.
A TVET Plan identifies the roles of everyone involved, including: • how communities, businesses and Government set priorities for training; • who delivers accredited training; • who will have access to training; • why qualifications are important and how they are recognised; • how training will be paid for.
TIMOR-LESTE TODAY • A rapidly developing economy • Education levels are a challenge • More than 50% of all Timor-Leste people are under 19 years of age
Building for Timor-Leste tomorrow For our development, we need: • Better links between high schools and vocational education and training; • training that helps our industries to grow; and, • increase business investment in training.
How our training system needs to be... • high quality training for our future development; • a partnership between employers, trainees and Government; • open to everyone who wants or needs training; • providing skills and qualifications equal to the standards of our region.
What we are doing now... The Timor-Leste formal training system is: • establishing national standards for accredited training courses; • accrediting training providers to deliver national courses; • providing national training curriculum for accredited training providers; and • issuing national qualifications for people completing accredited training;
1. National Training Standards Industry sub-Commissions set the training and skill standards for all industries. Industry sub-Commissions have INDMO, industry, unions and training provider representatives. • Industry sub-Commissions exist for Tourism & Hospitality, Administration, Finance & ICT, Construction, Education & Training. • by 2012, Industry sub-Commissions will be established for Agriculture, Automotive, Maritime & Petroleum, Health & Community Services.
By 2015, National training standards will cover all accredited training for levels 1 to 4 and will specify: • education entry level requirements; • training lessons (training curriculum); • level of knowledge and skill required (competence) ; • classroom and workplace training and experience; • Assessment of a learner’s competence in training; • the qualifications issued for completed training.
2. Accrediting Training Providers – delivering national courses • every organisation delivering accredited training and issuing national qualifications will be an Accredited Training Provider (ATPs). • ATPs may include technical high schools, Government training centres and polytechnics as well as industry and community training organisations. • ATPs will have approved training facilities, qualified trainers and deliver national training programs to the new national standards
3. National training materials for priority industries • Learning materials and assessment tools for levels 1 and 2 training will be made available to all accredited training providers. • Materials for construction and automotive will be completed in 2011. • Other major industries will be developed over the next 3 years.
4. National Qualifications Framework The Timor-Leste National Qualifications Framework (NQF) was approved by the Council of Ministers in 2011. The NQF will cover all post-secondary education and training, meaning: • The recognition of the skill gained based on level of qualification.
INDMO – the National accreditation body INDMO : • Accredits Training Providers • Approves standards set by industry • Approves qualifications Levels 1 to 4 in the National Framework. There are now 15 training providers working towards national accreditation with INDMO.
Other key issues for theNational Training Framework • Equality – this is about fairness and economic efficiency as a cohesive society is a better place to do business. • The social and economic partners - Government, businesses, unions and NGOs need to work together to set standards and comment on Government training policy. (continued...)
Other key issues (continued...) • Payment for training and people in training - Government, industry and civil society may need to establish national and industry agreements on who pays for training and who pays wages for a working trainee. • Laws for the vocational education and training – new laws may be required to support government, business, unions and community stakeholders in setting training agreements and other training standards.
