The Center on the Economics and Management of Education and Training Systems (CEMETS) 2018
In the LELAM-TVET4Income project, we cooperate closely with TVET policy makers, reform leaders and stakeholders from Benin, Chile, Costa Rica and Nepal. Each year, we invite some of them to participate in the Center on the Economics and Management of Education and Training Systems’ (CEMETS) summer institute. CEMETS is a “reform lab” for TVET policy makers, reform leaders and stakeholders from around the world, who are involved in reforming their TVET system.

The problem-based learning approach of this reform lab provided the policy makers the opportunity to critically reflect on their reform plans with the feedback of an international peer group. Following the reform cases in our project partner countries as they progress, allows us to analyse success factors and barriers to reform implementation and continuation of their TVET systems, thereby bridging the gap between intentions and actions.
