2024年2月21日

在南蘇丹共和國的副總統暨服務交付集群主席Hussen Abdelbagi Akol閣下的贊助下，聯合國教科文組織與普通教育及指導部舉辦了為期兩天的職業技術教育培訓（TVET）分部門年度審查會議，討論了技術職業教育培訓（TVET）協作、政策、技能開發、課程開發及教師培訓等領域的挑戰與建議。

與會者包括來自國家層級與10個州、3個行政區、勞動市場代表、外交團體成員、非政府組織與行政部門的118名代表。

在他的發言中，聯合國教科文組織駐南蘇丹代表Julius Banda先生表示：「投資於人力資本是南蘇丹促進經濟繁榮發展長期戰略的重要組成部分，透過提高人口量—特別是年輕人—促進和平及發展穩定，並實現其抱負及賦予婦女與女孩權力，提高技能發展的能力並促進可持續發展，利用機遇取得『快速成功』並催化增長。」

瑞典駐朱巴大使館合作部門主管Hilding Lundkvist先生表示，職業技術教育培訓（TVET）屬於瑞典政府支持改善生計戰略的範疇，並強調在當前情況下，確保TVET是需求驅動的、相關的、對氣候變化做出反應的，且在性別、內部流離失所者方面具有包容性是非常重要的。

普通教育和指導部部長Awut Deng Acuil女士宣佈2024年為TVET年並感謝所有合作夥伴為支持部門開展技能發展工作所做出的努力。她強調政府對TVET的重視，並呼籲充沛的國內資源分配給所有從事TVET工作的行政部門。

蘇丹共和國的副總統暨服務交付集群主席Hussen Abdelbagi Akol閣下表示：「雖然我們今天強調了TVET分部門的改革，但我們不應忘記教師們的處境。我們離這個國家需要提供公平與優質教育，以及終身學習機會所需的質量和數量仍然遙遠。」

TVET分部門年度審查得到了瑞典政府通過瑞典國際發展合作局（SIDA）資助的由聯合國教科文組織所管理的「加強南蘇丹職業技術教育培訓」項目的支援。

UNESCO and Ministry of Education Hold TVET Sub-Sector Annual Review Meeting in Juba

UNESCO and the Ministry of General Education organized a 2-day TVET Sub-Sector Annual Review meeting to discuss, identify challenges and recommendations in areas of TVET.

Under the patronage of His Excellency, Hussen Abdelbagi Akol, Vice President and Chairperson of the Services Delivery Cluster in the Revitalized Government of National Unity, UNESCO and the Ministry of General Education and Instruction organized a 2-day TVET Sub-Sector Annual Review meeting to discuss challenges and recommendations in the areas of Technical Vocational Educational Training (TVET) coordination, policies, skills development, curriculum development, and teacher training.

Participants included over 118 delegates drawn from both the national level and the 10 States, the 3 administrative areas, labour market representatives, members of the diplomatic community, NGOs, and line ministries.

In his remarks, Mr. Julius Banda, UNESCO Country Representative, said that “investing in human capital is a key part of the long-term strategy for developing South Sudan’s capacity to secure economic prosperity, promoting peace and stability by improving the capacity of the population – particularly the youth – to fulfil their aspirations and empowering women and girls, enhancing access to skills development and promote sustainable development, and harness opportunities to reap “quick-wins” and catalyze growth.”

Mr. Hilding Lundkvist, Head of Cooperation Swedish Embassy in Juba said that TVET falls within the Swedish Government’s Strategy of supporting improving livelihoods and stressed that in the current context, it is important to ensure that TVET is demand-driven, relevant, provides response to climate change, and inclusive with respect to gender, internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Hon. Awut Deng Acuil, Minister of General Education and Instructions declared 2024 as a year of TVET and applauded all the partners for supporting the efforts of the ministry towards skills development. She stressed the importance the Government attaches to TVET and called for adequate domestic resources to be allocated to all line Ministries working on TVET.

His Excellency Hussen Abdelbagi Akol, Vice President and Chairperson of the Service Cluster in the Revitalized Government of National Unity said “while we are emphasizing reforms in the TVET sub-sector today, we should not forget the situation of teachers. We are still far from having the quality of teachers in sufficient quantity that this country needs to provide equitable and quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all.”

The TVET Sub-Sector Annual review was made possible with support from the Government of Sweden through the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) funded project “Strengthening TVET in South Sudan” managed by UNESCO.
