This synthesis report offers insights into issues and challenges in assuring the quality of qualifications in TVET in 13 Asia-Pacific countries. It identifies common areas for improvement and provides recommendations that could lead to enhancements of the quality assurance systems in the region. The report is intended as a resource for policy-makers, assisting them to rethink the policies and practices related to ensuring the quality of TVET qualifications, and to make reforms where required. We at UNESCO hope that the analysis of countries' experiences presented here, and the guidelines proposed, will help Member States optimize the quality assurance mechanisms for TVET qualifications, and respond more effectively to both national and international needs and developments.
