The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) is pleased to present the National Strategic Framework for Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) 2018–2022. This framework is the culmination of year-long deliberations led by the Government of Lebanon, with the support of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the International Labour Organization (ILO). These consultations involved a wide array of stakeholders, including the MEHE, the Ministry of Labour (MOL), the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA), the Ministry of Social Affairs (MOSA), the National Employment Office (NEO), the National Vocational Training Centre (NVTC), private sector representatives and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). A total of six working groups representing the key national TVET stakeholder groups established their own strategic goals and priorities for reforming the TVET sector (see Appendix II).

The TVET Strategic Framework 2018–2022 presents the common roadmap reached through working group deliberations for the reform of the TVET system. The Strategic Framework confirms the Government of Lebanon’s renewed commitment to promote a TVET system that provides youth and workers with the competencies and skills required to access decent work and allows businesses to recruit the workforce they need for growth. This commitment is articulated in the Strategic Framework, which outlines three main strategic axes: (i) expanded access and service delivery; (ii) enhanced quality and relevance of TVET provision; and (iii) improved TVET governance and systems. These three axes are realized through eight building blocks.
