REGIONAL TVET TEACHER STANDARD FOR ASEAN
Essential competences for TVET Teachers in ASEAN
Description
What is new in the updated version?
This updated (2020) version of the Regional TVET Teacher Standard for ASEAN (RTTS) is adjusted to represent the impact of the 4th industrial revolution, digitalization as well as to place a strong emphasis on vocational disciplines. The changes concentrate on aligning the standards closer to the requirements for teachers in vocational education and to orient them towards various good practices from within and outside the region. The standards are formulated in a way that roadmaps for the development of teacher training in the individual countries can be drawn up.
Complementary to the updated RTTS, Guidelines for Assessment and Monitoring of TVET Teacher Performance and Quality as well as Guidelines to Vocational Disciplines have been created in English, and the translations of the RTTS and the Guidelines have been available in Vietnamese:
