Summary: | This report documents progress, analyzes
strengths and weaknesses of the Xinjiang Technical and
Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system, and
proposes recommendations that can be used to enrich policy
dialogue and open opportunities for future cooperation
between Xinjiang and the World Bank. The World Bank team
discussed and agreed with the foreign capital project
management office of the Xinjiang education department, the
main counterpart for this study, on the selection criteria
for the Principal Investigator (PI) responsible for data
collection and the desk review of available documentation
and interviews with key informants, including officials from
related departments and representatives of training
institutes and enterprises. This report is composed of three
sections. The first section provides a brief overview and
analysis of the Xinjiang setting, including economic trends,
status of the workforce and TVET system. This is followed by
a summary of the Systems Approach for Better Education
Results (SABER)-Workforce Development (WfD) results
including three dimensions, nine policy goals and 27 policy
actions. Lastly, a brief policy analysis along with
recommendations reflect upon the results of the SABER-WfD
study by addressing key challenges and weaknesses of the
Xinjiang TVET system in the context of Xinjiang's
medium to long-term education and talent development plans.
In medium to long-term, the quality of Xinjiang TVET system
needs to be improved through enhanced governance, quality
assurance and monitoring and evaluation, and through
improved connections with quality basic education. The goal
is to set up a flexible and diversified modern TVET system
for a skilled workforce and to achieve the objectives of the
Xinjiang medium and long-term education and talent
development plans. Efforts also should be made to enable
some TVET schools and programs to become recognized among
the top level in China. |
