A/67/310 5. Principle of social dialogue, partnerships and participation 87. This principle is crucial in devising and operationalizing the system of technical and vocational education and training, with the involvement of social partners and multiple stakeholders. It emanates from human rights law as also from ILO and UNESCO instruments relating to technical and vocational education and training. B. Recommendations 88. In line with the above principles, and having looked extensively into technical and vocational education and training from a right to education perspective, the Special Rapporteur would like to offer the recommendations set out below. 1. Ensure that technical and vocational education systems integrate overall education goals 89. States should ensure that instead of remaining a separate stream, the technical and vocational education and training system is an integral part of general secondary education, with pathways leading to its pursuit at the tertiary level. Technical and vocational education and training should not only cater to the possible technical requirements of occupational sectors but also develop social skills and critical thinking, and it should be consistent with the right to education, laid down by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and by the United Nations human rights treaties, as highlighted in the present report. 2. Develop comprehensive legal frameworks for technical and vocational education and training 90. States should adopt comprehensive legal frameworks in line with international norms and standards. Such frameworks should establish the roles and responsibility of various State and non-State actors involved in the provision of technical and vocational education and training, with consultation mechanisms for meaningful participation of all social partners and multiple stakeholders, including community and local bodies. 91. Such a legal framework could consider promoting public-private partnership, with policies and incentives encouraging the private sector to collaborate with public authorities. Moreover, institutionalized collaboration between technical and vocational education and training schools and industry and enterprises should be established. 3. Regulate private providers of technical and vocational education and training 92. In keeping with the UNESCO Revised Recommendation concerning Technical and Vocational Education, which, in its article 17 (c), provides that “all technical and vocational education programmes, including those offered by private bodies, should be subject to approval by the public authorities”, the State should ensure that private providers of technical and vocational education and training conform to international and national norms and standards, and 24 12-46486
