> Countries in the South Asian and South East Asian regions are facing a number of similar challenges in the field of technical and vocational education and training. Their approach for finding the most suitable solutions is mostly done, though, independently from each other. It is recognized that the current North-South links in the field of TVET do benefit these countries, albeit often on an individual basis.
