1. Executive Summary The first Country-Level Workshop in Cambodia on SEA-TVET Harmonisation and Mobility was held 9-10 October 2015 at the Borei Angkor Resort and Spa, in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The workshop was hosted by the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, Cambodia and co-organised by the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO), with support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Following up from the first High Official Meeting on SEA-TVET, held in Chiang Mai, Thailand on 24-26 August 2015, and the SEA-TVET-DAAD Workshop held in Solo, Indonesia on 10-12 September 2015, the CountryLevel Workshop in Cambodia is part of the seven Country-Level Workshop series to promote harmonisation and internationalisation among TVET institutions in Southeast Asian countries. The objectives of the Country-Level Workshop in Cambodia were: 1) to introduce the results of the above regional meetings on SEA-TVET to TVET institutions in Cambodia and TVET institutions from neighbouring countries; 2) to explore the mutual recognition/harmonisation agreements; 3) to identify specific actions and plans related to student and teacher exchanges among the participating TVET institutions; 4) to establish a networking platform and commitment to participation in the SEA-TVET Consortium; and 5) to provide capacity building support to TVET officials and TVET institutions. The workshop was attended by 54 participants, comprising TVET policy makers from Cambodia, directors/deputy-directors of TVET institutions in Cambodia, and policy makers and directors/principals of TVET institutions from Indonesia, Laos PDR, Malaysia, and Thailand. Five sessions – focusing on sharing and developing collaborative activities among TVET institutions – were held on the first day of the workshop. A study visit on the second day took participants to Centre National de la Soie (CNS) and the Angkor Wat Temple. Four group discussions according to the priority areas of Cambodia, namely: 1) hospitality and tourism; 2) agriculture and fisheries; 3) construction; and 4) policy level were conducted for TVET institutions to develop bilateral/trilateral/group agreements and joint action plans for piloting teacher and student exchanges and other joint activities. Proposed collaborative activities include: the sharing of curricula, official visits of personnel at the management level, the signing of MOUs, and exchanges of knowledge and experience. Most joint activities were scheduled to start from November 2015 onwards. For the teacher and student exchange programme, this will be conducted bilaterally among institutions which provide the same level of certification. The teacher exchange is proposed to be held in May-June 2016. The agreement for conducting the student exchange will be discussed further and planned after the implementation of the teacher exchange. There were other issues intensively discussed at the workshop such as the challenges facing the student exchange; funding implications; credit transfers and accreditation during the exchange programme; subject/competency mapping; and industry involvement. The overall assessment on the workshop indicated positive ratings. It is evident from the questionnaires that all respondents were satisfied in the areas of programme, presentation, workshop venue, meals, workshop document and coordination of the organisers. Participants agreed that the workshop provided a meaningful activity and contributed to the development of partnership among participating TVET institutions. The participants expected the results from the workshop to be reported to the SEAMEO High Officials’ Meeting and the Ministerial Meeting. The signing of the collaborative agreement among the TVET institutions is due to be arranged at the next Country-Level Workshop. The next Country-Level Workshop on SEA-TVET Harmonisation and Mobility will be hosted by the Officer of Vocational Education Commission, the Ministry of Education, Thailand, on 22-23 November 2015. It will be followed by the Country-Level Workshops in Myanmar on 4-5 December 2015; and in Lao PDR on 22-23 December 2015, respectively.

2. Introduction 2.1

Rationale and Background Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has been identified as a priority area in the Southeast Asian region. This development came from consultations held in 2012 initiated by SEAMEO and the ADB (Asian Development Bank) under the SEAMEO College Project. After two years, Southeast Asian education ministers have affirmed the importance of TVET by naming it as one of the post-2015 seven priority areas of SEAMEO during the Strategic Dialogue of Education Ministers (SDEM), held in September 2014. As a form of education that responds to poverty reduction, economic recovery and sustainable development, TVET has received greater attention from policy makers, particularly in the quest for economic integration into ASEAN at the year-end of 2015. In the context of ASEAN integration; the perceived mobility of skilled workers in the region; and the need to improve the quality of TVET in Southeast Asia, SEAMEO – with funding from the Office of the Vocational Education Commission, an agency within the Ministry of Education, Thailand – organised the first High Officials’ Meeting (HOM) on SEA-TVET. This was held under the theme: “Working Together towards Harmonisation and Internationalisation of TVET in Southeast Asia”. The event took place on 24-26 August 2015 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. As a result, the “Chiang Mai Joint Statement on Harmonisation and Internationalisation of TVET in Southeast Asia” was officially announced at this meeting and this declaration was based on regional policy directions that emerged from the TVET High Officials’ Round-Table Meeting. Following on from the HOM on SEA-TVET, SEAMEO hosted the SEA TVET-DAAD Workshop under the theme “Internationalisation and Harmonisation of TVET in Southeast Asia”. This event was held 10-12 September 2015 in Solo, Indonesia with the aims to further develop regional strategies according to the Chiang Mai Joint Statement and expand collaboration on internationalisation and harmonisation by identifying practical mechanisms and comprehensive action plans among the priority industrial sectors: 1) hospitality and tourism; 2) electronics, mechatronics and manufacturing; 3) agriculture and fisheries; 4) construction/civil engineering; and 5) commerce (banking). The workshop involved approximately 300 policy makers, TVET colleges/institutions and representatives from the industrial sector. Building on these two events, the seven Country-Level Workshops on SEA-TVET Harmonisation and Mobility are planned to be conducted over one-to-two days in each of the seven countries in Southeast Asia. The workshops at the country level will serve as a platform for establishing partnerships and networking among participating TVET institutions from the host country and other Southeast Asian countries. With support from the host countries, the seven Country-Level Workshops have been scheduled to take place in the following destinations and on the specified dates: Cambodia (9-10 October 2015); Thailand (26-28 November 2015); Myanmar (4-5 December 2015); Lao PDR (22-23 December 2015); Malaysia (2016); Philippines (2016); and Vietnam (2016).



Reflections and key messages from the presentations: Reflections and key messages from the above speakers can be summarised as follows: - Through the exchange programmes, teachers and students can upgrade their capacity. - Common challenges of student and staff exchange programmes presented by the representatives such as: o o o o o o o o

For long-term exchange programmes, students and teachers have problems in adapting to differences in different countries. Limited budgets and financial support. Language barriers and cultural differences. Different subjects in the same field study area. Most students are controlled by their parents. Matching demand and supply. Limited industry attachments for students and teachers. Time consuming preparation.

- To promote the TVET student and staff exchange programme, recommendations from the presentations and participants can be grouped as follows: o

Regional Level - Curriculum/competency/subject mapping among the TVET study area should be planned among the countries.

o

Country/Policy Level -

o

Student and teacher exchange programmes to promote harmonisation and mobility should be endorsed as a country initiative, policy and strategic plan. Required participation and consensus at all levels of national agencies, universities, institutions, curriculum developers. Strengthen partnerships with industrial sectors: Establishment of the Joint Committee between TVET government agencies and the industrial sector. Making TVET more attractive. Fostering entrepreneurship or self-employment of TVET students.

Institutional Level -

Focus the exchange on technical areas. Expand the Dual Vocational Education Programme. Enhance the changes in teaching, learning and assessing methodologies. Provide incentives, continuing counselling and guidance to students. Provide an effective orientation programme to teachers, students and parents. Encourage the use of the English language across various subjects – do not confine it to the English language subject. Provide a forum and opportunity to students who participated in the exchange programme to present their acquired knowledge, experience and skills. To enhance understanding among students/teachers and encourage their participation, more promotional activities about the “cultural exchange programme” among ASEAN countries should be intensified. Raise awareness of the benefits of the exchange programme to institutions and parents.

-7-

-

o

Involvement of Industrial Sectors -

o

Strengthen partnerships with industries. Clear strategies to improve the involvement of industrial sectors. The country policy level should consider providing an incentive to industrial sectors who are involved in the development of TVET. An effective method of internship with the industrial sector should be codeveloped by TVET institutions and the industrial sector.

Networking Platform -

3.4

Change parents’ mindset and perception. The announcement about exchange activities before starting the course needs a solid and well thought out plan regarding organization of the staff and student mobility.

Development of online platforms to support the programme-networking, journal or research publications. Development of networking and cooperation between universities (bachelor degree) and TVET institutions (diploma level). IT infrastructure and connectivity will boost the speed and effectiveness of the cooperation.

Other suggestions: o The SEA-TVET Consortium website should have a forum for students and teachers to share their views and the experiences they gained from the exchange programme. o Due to funding constraints, the participating institutions should find different ways to get funding support. A cost-sharing basis among governments, institutions, parents and industrial companies is recommended. Group 4: Policy level

 -

Number of Participants: four participants from the Ministry of Education, and related TVET Ministries from Indonesia, Lao PDR and Malaysia.

-

Agreed Joint Activities: o The group proposed curriculum/subject/competency mapping at the certificate and diploma level among countries by focusing on the following study areas: hospitality and tourism. agriculture. construction. electronics, mechatronics and manufacturing. o

The suggested procedures include 1) Formulation of a standard among participating countries; 2) Approval of agreement through SEAMEO platforms; 3) Implementation; and 4) Evaluation.

o

To pursue the curriculum/subject/competency mapping, expert planning meetings on curriculum/subject/competency mapping can be conducted back to back with one of the Country Level Workshops in 2016 or hosted by the SEAMEO Secretariat. The meeting is to plan and implement the curriculum/subject/competency mapping for credit transfer of student mobility in specific study areas among participating countries. Participants of the expert planning meeting are policy makers of participating countries (starting from three to four agreed countries), curriculum experts, leading secondary vocational institutions, leading diploma vocational institutions. A cost-sharing basis should be applied for organising this special meeting.

The group proposed the following steps for implementation: - Step 1: Formulating competency standard/learning outcome standard specially for student mobility: Decide level of certification and priority areas

-11-

- Step 2: Designing strategies/methods to achieve a competency standard such as learning methods, assessment methods, credit transfers, length of exchange programme. - Step 3: Approval at the ministerial level. - Step 4: Implementation among pilot institutions.

-

o

It was strongly recommended that SEAMEO should propose this idea of the curriculum/subject/competency mapping to the High Officials Meeting and the ministerial level for approval.

o

Funding support to student and staff mobility across the country can be feasible for the institution level if the top authority such as ministers approve the concept.

o

Signing of Cooperation on the curriculum/subject/competency mapping at the ministerial level may be necessary for cross-country level implementation.

Other suggestions: o To improve the industrial attachment, companies should take part in the SEATVET Consortium. o

3.6

TVET institutions should consider integrating entrepreneurship into the curriculum and programme.

Closing Session  Synthesis and the Way Forward Dr. Paryono, Deputy-Director for Professional Affairs, SEAMEO VOCTECH synthesised the results from group discussions and summarized the following key messages and recommendations: -

-



The key issue is funding – the recommended solution is to consider a cost sharing basis among involved parties such as government, institutions, parents, potential funding donors and industry. The SEA-TVET Consortium Guide Book can be a good reference for institutions who would like to implement the student and staff exchange programmes. A clear agenda for the staff visit programme should be developed such as subject mapping and exploration of other collaborative activities. Providing opportunities for students to study further from the certificate to the diploma level in other countries is a good suggestion such as students from SMK Indonesia (certificate level) can study further at the diploma level in Malaysia or Thailand. For curriculum/competency/subject mapping, this can be started at the institutional level by bilateral or trilateral. To involve all countries in the Southeast Asian region for the curriculum/competency/subject mapping may take longer time – however this can be done among countries who would like to participate. In the meantime, institutions that have means and resources for staff and student exchange programmes were encouraged to start as soon as possible. Communication among the groups should be continued after the workshop to strengthen partnerships through email or mobile applications such as whatsapp. Participants were encouraged to turn joint plans into action. Closing Remarks by HE Mr. Him Laov, Director-General of TVET, Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, Cambodia. H E Mr Him Laov encouraged the continuation of networking among the participating TVET institutions in sharing experiences and discussions. His Excellency hoped the friendships between countries will continue fruitfully.

4 Workshop Evaluation The results of the workshop evaluation were completed by 29 respondents in the form of a questionnaire at the end of day one. The evaluation questionnaire was divided into three main areas as follows: -

About the respondent. About the programme and logistics. General opinions.

According to the overall results of the evaluation, the Country-Level Workshop in Cambodia on SEATVET Harmonisation and Mobility was successfully conducted with a positive rating collected from the questionnaire. From the feedback from respondents, it is evident that all respondents were satisfied in general with the whole event including the programme, presentations, registration, meeting venue, meals and breaks, workshop documents, and coordination of organisers. All respondents agreed that the workshop was meaningful and contributed as follows: -

An opportunity to share knowledge and provide better understanding about TVET systems and practices in other countries. An opportunity to explore collaboration and establish partnerships with other Southeast Asian countries about TVET.

However, there were some useful suggestions that can be considered for the organisation of the next Country-Level Workshop. The suggestions are as follows: -

-

Invite more TVET institutions from other countries to participate. Invite more private sector organizations to participate. Reduce the number of activities per day. Provide more time for discussions. Conduct the same workshops twice in each Member Country. Provide the opportunity to sign the agreement or MOU at the workshop. Organize the meeting from Tuesday to Thursday as opposed to the weekend.

Country-Level Workshop in Cambodia on SEA-TVET Harmonisation and Mobility 9-10 October 2015 | Borei Angkor Resort & Spa, Siem Reap, Cambodia Welcome Remarks by Dr Paryono Deputy Director, SEAMEO VOCTECH Your Excellency Laov Him Director General of Technical and Vocational Education and Training Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, Cambodia, Deputy Directoral General, Directors and High Officials from Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, Cambodia, Directors and representatives from TVET Institutions, Distinguished resource persons, Representatives from SEAMEO Centres, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Morning (aroun suostei) It is a great pleasure for me on behalf of SEAMEO VOCTECH Director, to be given this chance to welcome directors and lecturers of TVET institutions and representatives from various SEAMEO member countries to this beautiful and historical place of Siem Riep and to this Country-Level Workshop in Cambodia on SEA-TVET Harmonisation and Mobility. Ladies and Gentlemen, As part of the greater regional integration between countries in Southeast Asia officially launched by ASEAN in 2015, the member countries of ASEAN have been intensifying collaboration in different areas, especially in human resource development and increasing the mobility of people across countries within the region. This new development places Technical and Vocational Education and Training or in short “TVET” in a prominent role for developing human resources that are capable of working within industry and exchanging technical expertise regionally – TVET has been highlighted and identified in many Ministerial and High Officials Meetings as one of the priority areas on education development for the Southeast Asian region. To develop the TVET for the Southeast Asian region, the 1st High Officials Meeting on SEA-TVET was organized with the support of the Office of Vocational Education Commission, Ministry of Education Thailand in last August in Chiangmai, Thailand to determine policy directions of TVET development and collaboration in Southeast Asia, and identified strategic framework and priority areas, especially on prospects of harmonisation and internationalisation of TVET. As a result, the “Chiang Mai Joint Statement on Harmonisation and Internationalisation of TVET in Southeast Asia” was announced as the regional policy directions. You can see the details of Chiang Mai Joint Statement in the concept paper. Following on from the Chiangmai Joint Statement, a series of country level workshop have been organised in Brunei, in Indonesia recently joined with SEA-TVET DAAD Workshop, and now in Cambodia aims to further develop regional strategies and expand collaboration among the countries and TVET institutions by identifying practical mechanisms and comprehensive action plans among priority industry sectors: 1) Hospitality and Tourism, 2) Electronics, Mechatronics, and Manufacturing, 3) Agriculture and Fishery; 4) Construction or Civil Engineer, 5) Commerce (Banking). I fully hope that this workshop will give you a better understanding about the current regional development of TVET which you can participate and contribute in term of staff and student mobility and other collaborative programmes between the countries in the future. Your inputs and reflections will be very valuable for the regional implementation. The outputs from this session will be also reported to the Southeast Asian High Officials Meeting in November 2015 and the Ministerial Level Meeting.

However, there are challenges and issues on the internationalisation and harmonisation of TVET. By working together and learning from each other, we can further improve what we do and ensure our joint implementation to reach our regional goals. SEAMEO, including SEAMEO Secretariat and our Regional Centres such as SEAMEO VOCTECH and SEAMEO SEAMOLEC have strongly committed to the development and promotion of TVET for the Southeast Asian region and will work closely with the 11 Southeast Asian countries, TVET stakeholders and development agencies for successfully implementing the programme according to the regional directions. Details of our regional plan will be presented in this workshop. Your Excellency and dear participants, I am so pleased to inform that this workshop is attended by approximately 20 international participants from 4 Southeast Asia countries, who are the policy makers, TVET institutions, TVET development agencies, and about 18 TVET schools, polytechnique and colleges from Cambodia. Thank you very much for your time to be with us. Finally, I would like to express my appreciation to the Directorate General of Technical and Vocational Education and Training, Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, Cambodia for the leadership in, support, and contribution to convene this important workshop to benefit the TVET education of the region. Without this support, this meeting will not be organized successfully. Importantly, I would like to express my appreciation to the support of TVET education leaders, policy makers, and educators from Southeast Asian countries and Cambodia who have joined this regional effort for promoting and developing TVET for our region. Thank you very much.

Country-Level Workshop in Cambodia on SEA-TVET Harmonisation and Mobility 9-10 October 2015 | Borei Angkor Resort & Spa, Siem Reap, Cambodia Opening Remarks by H E Laov Him Director General of TVET, Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MLVT) 9 October 2015, Siem Reap Excellency, Dr. Paryono Representative Centre Director, SEAMEO VOCTECH Distinguished Experts, Guests, Representatives from Different Stakeholders in ASEAN State Members Ladies and Gentlemen! It is indeed a pleasure to not only participate in the 1st Country-Level Workshop in Cambodia on SEATVET Harmonisation and Mobility, but to have the honour of sharing some of my thoughts in course of delivering the opening remarks in this inaugural session. I am very delighted that this meeting, organized jointly by DGTVET and SEAMEO Secretariat, brings together national and regional stakeholders and key experts to discuss on topics of harmonization and mobility in southeast ASEAN. This issue is extremely relevant in the context of ASEAN integration and was raised during the 1st High Official Meeting on SEATVET in Chiang Mai, Thailand since August 2015. On behalf of the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training of Kingdom of Cambodia, I would like to inform all those present here today that Cambodia now has its own Qualifications framework (Cambodia Qualification Framework-CQF), comprising of 8 levels and substantial work has been completed in competency based training in several job positions at three different levels in the three priority sectors of construction, mechanics and business services and ICT. The CQF will also support and enhance the national and international mobility of our TVET graduates and workers through increased recognition of the value of Cambodian qualifications. There has also be significant progress in aligning our qualifications framework with the ongoing work on the ASEAN Qualifications framework. By focusing on the 1st country-level workshop on “SEA-TVET Harmonisation and Mobility” in Cambodia, this meeting will highlight the result of the previous TVET regional meetings so as to strengthen practical experiences as well as reinforce better linkages with the world of work. This should improve employability, which will increase the relevance and image of the technical and vocational education and training system. The topics of the meeting today have been chosen on the basis of their relevance to the Asian countries. Considering the country level, Cambodia has recommended on the following three priority areas: (i) hospitality and tourism, (ii) agriculture and fisheries and, (iii) construction/civil engineering for harmonizing and mobility. I am happy that this meeting will cover important topics such as mechanism for transferring teachers and student exchanges program among the TVET institutions in Cambodia and with other participating TVET institutions from other countries, strengthening the relevance of work-based learning, the role of the private sector within TVET, and how to make TVET more inclusive by addressing the specific needs of the disadvantaged groups. In conclusion, I would like to thank SEAMEO Secretariat for co-organizing this very important meeting on harmonisation and mobility in southeast ASEAN as well as for giving me this opportunity to share my thoughts on the theme of the meeting. I would like to congratulate all the experts and participation who are participating in this very important meeting and wish all of you very productive and enlightening discussion and an enjoyable stay in this historic and beautiful city. Thank You.

Appendix V: Presentation of Session 2 Panel Discussion on Sharing Experiences in Student and Teacher Exchange Programmes: Current Practices and Challenges”

Country-Level Workshop in Cambodia on SEA-TVET Harmonization and Mobility Hosted by the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, Cambodia

Student and Teacher Exchange: Current Practices and Challenges -NPIC Experiences-

Contents Overview Student and Teacher Exchange in NPIC Challenges Recommendations

Bun Phearin, President of NPIC 9-10 October, 2015 Borei Angkor Resort & Spa, Siemreap, Cambodia

Overview In the ASEAN Charter, ASEAN : Inspired by and united under “One Vision, One Identity and One Caring and Sharing Community;”. However, ASEAN is still far from this vision. Comparing to European Union, which has a relative similar historical and cultural background and little economic and social development gap, ASEAN member countries are diverse in many aspects. To be a Truly One Community, these social, economic and development gap should be reduced. TVET plays a great part to fulfill these mission.

Student and Teacher Exchange  As a main TVET training provider in Cambodia, since its inception, NPIC has promoted student and teacher exchange activities.  Let’s take Indonesia, which is one of our partner in ASEAN as an example. Since 2011,through SEAMEO SEAMOLEC, NPIC has regularly exchange student/teacher/expert with Indonesian education institutions. Totally, 56 NPIC students have finished their study in Indonesia, 33 of Indonesian students finished their double degree program in NPIC.  Currently, four NPIC teachers are pursuing Master degree in Indonesia, nine Indonesian student are studying in NPIC for a double degree program.

Overview (Cont.) The year 2015 is coming to the end soon, however, the goal such as: labor market integration and workforce mobility are not yet realized. ASEAN skills recognition is done in only few selected areas. Several cooperation is done between institutions, but not coordinate in the country level. To realize the Southeast Asian TVET harmonization and mobility, a lot of works still need to be done by each country TVET management as well as training provider.

Student and Teacher Exchange (Cont.) Through exchange program, our teachers can upgrade their capacity, our students can experience a different living environment, expose to different culture and technological advancement in different country. They also learn to be a more global citizen. We also share our own culture, tradition and the way of thinking to outside students.

Challenges

Recommendations

For short-term exchange/cultural program, we found little challenges. However, for long-term exchange program, we found that student/teacher have problems adapting to differences in different countries.

Student and Teacher exchange program, as part of the SEA-TVET harminisation and mobility, should be government initiative and should be included in each country priority areas and strategic plan.

As most of the exchanges we have done are financially own supports, we have limited budget, we often get complains from participatory student/teacher.

To enhance understanding among student/teacher and encourage their participation, more promotional activities about cultural or exchange program among ASEAN countries should be intensified.

Country-Level Workshop in Cambodia on SEA-TVET Harmonisation and Mobility 9-10 October 2015 I Borei Angkor Resort & Spa, Siem Reap, Cambodia Hosted by the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, Cambodia Group 3: Construction/Civil Engineering “Proposed Strategies and Action Plan” Outputs from the Group Discussion: 1. 2.

Some institutions haven’t got experiences in exchanging students in construction field. There were some discussions in the meeting about the SEA-TVET consortium:      

1.

The language barrier is problem. For example from JVC Technical College that collaboration with industry from Japan There are suggestions that alumnus from construction field don’t need a certificate and diploma. Need standard certification for contraction that is acceptable. Construction skilled workers in Cambodia are not too good. Areas of study for exchanging should be agreed among the parties. Need to know each other’s strength and weakness in order to improve. The participants of consortium can discuss the detail of collaboration after visiting each other.

Why What How Who When

Implementation



The suggested procedures include 1) Formulation of standard among the participating countries; 2) Approval of agreement through SEAMEO platforms; 3) Implementation, and 4) Evaluation



To pursue the curriculum/subject/competency mapping, Expert Planning Meetings on Curriculum/Subject/Competency Mapping can be conducted back to back with one of the Country Level Workshop in 2016 or hosted by the SEAMEO Secretariat. The meeting is to plan and implement the curriculum/subject/competency mapping for credit transfer of student mobility in the specific study areas among the participating countries. Participants of the expert planning meeting are policy makers of participating countries (staring from 3-4 agreed countries), curriculum experts, leading secondary vocational institutions, leading diploma vocational institutions. Cost-sharing basis should be applied for organising this special meeting.



The group proposed the following steps for implementation: 

Step 1: Formulating competency standard/ learning outcome standard specially for the student mobility: Decide level of certification and priority areas



Step 2: Designing strategies/methods to achieve competency standard such as learning methods, assessment methods, credit transfers, length of exchange programme



Step 3: Approval at the ministerial level



Step 4: Implementation among the pilot institutions.



It was strongly recommended that SEAMEO should propose this idea of the curriculum/subject/competency mapping to the High Officials Meeting and the Ministerial Level for the approval.



Funding support to student and staff mobility across the country can be feasible for the institution level if the top authority such as Ministers approve the concept.



Signing of Cooperation on the curriculum/subject/competency mapping among the Ministerial level may be necessary for the cross-country level implementation.



Other suggestions: 

To improve the industrial attachment, companies should take part in the SEA-TVET Consortium.



TVET institutions should consider integrating entrepreneurship into the curriculum and programme.
