> In line with Article 26 of the General Declaration of Human Rights,
> technical and vocational education shall be made generally available.
> Access to TVET for All will therefore be promoted as a strategy.
> The UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre would like to learn about
> examples of how policy makers and other key personnel in TVET have
> successfully promoted the case of TVET, no matter whether through
> attention-focusing events, political initiatives, legal or financial
> incentives, benchmarking exercises, awards, or open house events. The
> Centre would like to make such examples available to other interested
> parties in the worldwide UNEVOC Network.
> Should you know of such examples,
> kindly contact Mr Hans Krönner, e-mail: H.Kronner@unevoc.de
