Analysis for the Torino Process in the Republic of Moldova was undertaken on the basis of a high degree of participation. The Ministry of Education appointed the Republican Centre for Vocational Education and Training (VET) Development to collect qualitative and quantitative evidence and ensure broad consultation. The Republican Centre actively organised four focus group discussions and a number of individual interviews involving experts, teachers, school directors, high level officials and representatives of the private sector. The Centre also gathered other relevant data and drafted a self-assessment report. ETF used the outcomes of this vivid debate and extensive feedback from the meeting to build on the self-assessment document and draft this Torino Process report. The document also embeds elements from recent ETF studies of the human capital and the labour market in the Republic of Moldova.
