Trend 1: Demographic changing

…Aging, migration bring changing in labor force

Changing Population Structure. Increase in average life

span and declining birthrates are creating aging
societies, as well as increasingly urbanized populations,
which leads to greater disparities between urban and
rural.
 Trend 2: Economic Globalization
…Changing global value chain requires new thinking

Economic Globalization is another clear trend. Capital,

talent and knowledge continue to flow around the
world faster and faster, while the influence of
international organizations and multi-national
corporations also continues to increase.
 Trend 3: Internet Everywhere
…Virtual activities lead new business models and norms

Ubiquitous Internet. The influence of the burgeoning

development of the internet on the future global economy
grows deeper every day. Because the Net creates unlimited
business opportunities, its assault on established legal, social,
and cultural norms will be even more clear than it has for the
past ten years. The explosive growth in the quality and
quantity of information available, as well as information
security, will become even more urgent issues continuously
shaking up real-world behavior patterns.
 Trend 4: Cross-disciplinary technology integration
…Integration aims for innovations based on user needs

Cross-disciplinary Technology Integration. In terms of

industrial development, individual technologies already
cannot satisfy needs, driving the creation of major
cross-disciplinary technology integrations that are more
and more strongly connected to social and human
aspirations.
 Trend 5: Environmentalism
…Value environment / low-impact manufacturing

Agile Manufacturing and environmental concerns.

Raising precision manufacturing ability with increasing
automation and flexibility has already become a main
method of competition between countries facing labor
shortages. This kind of agile manufacturing is also
necessary to meet today's need for commodities of
various types but small volume.
 Trend 6: Natural Resource usage efficiency
…Sustainable usage and allocation

Natural Resource Usage Efficiency. Over the next ten

years resources such as water, oil and food will
continue to have different degrees of influence. How to
reasonably and efficiency utilize water resources,
successfully develop alternative energy sources and
stabilize food supplies, will be key factors for increasing
economic growth

Distinct challenges for TVET, in terms of
acclimatizing to;
 Financial restructuring as Asia-pacific regional countries
 Competition in education and training markets as citizens
seek the best educational opportunities, especially with
entry of foreign education providers in the domestic
market
 The access and exit of skills embodied in people due to
migration flows.
 TVET being major resource consumer takes on a
complex and distinctive character with regard to
sustainable development. TVET constantly included
elements of sustainability, especially in the way
scarce training materials were conserved and waste
materials were disposed.

Example: Overconsumption of such consumer goods such as

paper leads to deforestation, this is thought to be related to
global climate change
“For TVET programs to be part of the solution and not part
of the problem; they must be reoriented so that they
contribute to sustainable development worldwide.”
Koichiro Matsuura
Director-General of UNESCO

“TVET must be the masker key that can alleviate poverty,

promote peace, conserve the environment, improve the
quality of life for all and help to achieve sustainable
development.”
Bonn declaration (2004)
New developments in information technologies have opened up
new prospective in teaching and learning. ICTs need to be
harnessed, to provide more widespread access to TVET.
However, due to the impact of ICT on education, there are issues
to interrogate:
1. How will ICT developments impact our educational practice?
2. Will we experience a drastic change in teaching and learning
strategies?
3. Will we adopt a new learning paradigm in the next decade or
two?
 Global • Capacity For Lifelong Learning
• Adaptability, practical skills
Economy • Awareness @ global issues
Workforce • Communication Skills
• Ability to work collaboratively
Build the capacity of TVET Educators to be
enhanced so as to make them aware of the
potential of ICT in education and training
the learners of tomorrow.

“Education and Training of knowledge workers requires

different educational policies, facilities, curricula and,
above all, teachers.”
- Rupert Maclean and Ada Lai (2011)
• Educators must be transformed from those who
impart knowledge to those who facilitate learning.
• Curricula must be transformed from mechanisms to
deliver facts into mechanisms to promote and
facilitate learning and thinking.

Experts assert that a Competency-based

Approach to curriculum development can
facilitate this transformation.
