This publication summarises main outcomes of the ETF Innovation and Learning Project 'Transition from Education to Work' that was implemented in 2006-2007. The project aims at studying the link between education and work in a dynamic and integrated way. The main innovative element is the development of new conceptual approaches and analytical instruments for the ETF and its partner countries. The objective of the project was to develop two different tools to analyse the transition from education to work in ETF partner countries in order to better understand the links between education, training and labour market integration of young people. First, a conceptual and analytical framework on the topic of transition from education to work was developed and used for national reports on transition from education to work in Egypt, Serbia and Ukraine. This project builds on earlier work within the MEDA-ETE project implemented by the ETF whereby a thematic study on the transition from education to work in Europe was prepared based on discussions on the relevance of European experiences with a network of MEDA experts and policymakers. Secondly, a methodology for a school-leaver survey was developed and implemented in Serbia and Ukraine. This methodology takes as its starting point the ad hoc module on school-to-work transition within the framework of the European Labour Force Survey in 2000 and integrates key specific features of the EU neighbourhood where the ETF works.
This cross-country report – covering ten Mediterranean Partners (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, and the West Bank and Gaza Strip) – was built upon previous experience with career guidance reviews of the OECD, the European Commission, Cedefop, ETF and the World Bank. The analysis developed further the research methodology by paying particular attention to the socio-economic and cultural context of the Mediterranean region and its impact and limitations on career guidance services. Based on the assumption that career guidance is not only important for individuals, but can contribute also to a number of public-policy goals in education and training, in the labour market and in social cohesion and equity, it further took into account the paradigm shift in career guidance that is emerging in the EU and OECD countries, from ‘choosing a career’ to ‘constructing a career’, from ‘psychological testing’ to ‘tasting the world of work’, and from ‘external expert support’ to ‘career self-management skills’.
Education and the media are key factors for change and development in today's society. In April 2005, an ETF seminar kick-started a renewed dialogue between education and training providers and the media with the aim of establishing “a partnership for progress” between the EU and its neighbouring countries. The participants at the seminar agreed on a list of recommendations for further action. A clear priority was to look at how journalism schools and training have an impact on the media's ability to contribute to mutual understanding between countries and regions. Action was taken on 5 December 2006 at the seminar “Learning and living together – the role of Schools of Journalism” in Budapest, Hungary. This publication is a summary of that seminar. It touches on a number of issues discussed throughout the day and gives a number of recommendations. It will also provide input for further action to be taken by the Euromed and the Media initiative and its task force from 2007 onwards.
This paper is the summary of a conference titled "Knowledge and skills for development: The role of secondary education and training in the Middle East and North Africa", held in Turin, Italy, from 7 to 10 May 2000 under the auspices of the World Bank and the ETF. The conference was attended by ministers of education and labour and by senior officials from sixteen contries of the region. Participants also included representatives from six EU countries, along with some members of the European Commission and international organisations such as the ILO, CEDEFOP, OECD and UNESCO. Experts from the World Bank, the ETF, international organisations, EU member states, Hungary, Canada and the Med-MENA region led the discussions in pleanry sessions and in working groups.
This document brings together the latest information that the ETF has compiled on the situation of vocational education and training in the countries that will be covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy instrument (ENPI) set to be launched by the European Union at the beginning of 2007. The country sections present an overview of the social and economic context of each of the ENPI countries, an analysis of the education system and a short review of the main initiatives in education and training carried out by international donors in the country. Each country chapter also puts forward suggestions for future donor investments in the HRD sector.
This report belongs to a series of country analyses developed by the ETF at the end of 2005 for all countries in the Mediterranean region, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. It contains an overview of the country social and economical context, the analysis of the educational system and a short review of the main initiatives in education and training carried out by international donors in the country.
The study outlines key labour market issues in the Middle East and North Africa and analyses the implications for employment policy and training systems and the role of the European Union and other donors in supporting reforms in the sector. The study focuses on five pilot countries: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia.
Publications of this series gather documents of a general nature describing the overall vocational education and training systems and their link with labour markets in the different countries of the Mediterranean region. The publication aims to be informative and analytic and form the starting point of policy developments based on a holistic approach to the VET/Labour Market environment.
Synthesis of nine national reports on Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, West Bank and Gaza Strip, Syria and two cross-regional reports (Maghreb and Mashrek). This report is part of a series providing a range of analyses describing not only the current state of play but also illustrating the evolution of the Teacher and Trainer Training (TTT) system and its relevance to the national economic and VET challenges in the Mediterranean region.
