Training Teachers for Inclusive TEVET

ILO technical cooperation to date has aimed to support the Ministry and national vocational training agencies to better meet the skills development requirements of persons with disabilities through participation in mainstream courses. This has included carrying out an audit of mainstream training centres catering to persons with disabilities, reviewing the Inclusive Vocational Training - Persons with Disabilities in Zambia audit’s findings and recommendations through a stakeholders meeting, and developing an action plan to give effect to the MESVTEE’s policy of inclusive vocational training for disabled persons. A project has been designed to pilot test the action plan in five TEVET Institutions in Zambia. This project proposal has been developed by a designated MESVTEE team, in collaboration with ILO, and has been reviewed and approved by key national stakeholders at a workshop in Lusaka in December 2010.
