As countries respond to skills shortages, demographic change and growing cross-border labour mobility, building fair, coherent and effective skills-based mobility pathways has become an increasingly important policy priority.

A particular feature of the session will be its international and cross-regional perspectives. Experts from the European Commission, World Bank, IOM, ILO, Germany and India will share emerging approaches and initiatives, alongside practical experiences and good practices from countries of origin and destination on how governments and institutions can work together to better align skills development with labour-market demand, facilitate recognition and portability of skills, and promote safe, regular and mutually beneficial mobility.

The draft concept note is attached with further information on the objectives, key questions and programme.

Please feel free to share this invitation with colleagues and networks who may be interested.

We look forward to welcoming you online.

Būsime labai dėkingi, jei pasidalinsite šiuo kvietimu su kolegomis, kuriems ši tema galėtų būti aktuali.

Tyrimu siekiama įtraukti dvi profesinio mokymo įstaigose dirbančių mokytojų grupes – bendrojo ugdymo dalykų mokytojus ir profesijos mokytojus. Tokiu būdu tyrimas sudarys galimybę palyginti:

• mokytojų, dirbančių profesinio mokymo įstaigose ir bendrojo ugdymo mokyklose, atsakymus bei
• bendrojo ugdymo dalykų mokytojų ir profesijos mokytojų, dirbančių tik profesinio mokymo įstaigose, atsakymus.

Tyrėjams labai svarbu užtikrinti kuo platesnį  profesinio mokymo įstaigose dirbančių mokytojų įsitraukimą į apklausą, todėl kreipiamės į Jus su prašymu dalyvauti tyrime ir pasidalinti nuoroda į klausimyną su Jūsų įstaigos bendrojo ugdymo mokomųjų dalykų ir profesijos mokytojais.

Klausimyną sudaro trys dalys. Jo pildymas trunka iki 15 min.  Klausimyno nuoroda: https://forms.gle/TBvwuDQbmxWggsw8A Atlikus tyrimą surinkti duomenys bus analizuojami laikantis duomenų apsaugos reikalavimų bei mokslinių tyrimų atlikimo etinių standartų, naudojami tik mokslinio tyrimo tikslais. Atskirų respondentų tapatybė nebus identifikuojama ir jokie duomenys nebus siejami su konkrečiais asmenimis, vietovėmis ar ugdymo įstaigomis. Dalyvavimas apklausoje yra savanoriškas ir bet kuriuo metu galima nutraukti klausimyno pildymą.

Mums labai svarbi Jūsų nuomonė ir indėlis į tyrimą, ir tikimės, kad tyrime atsispindės ir profesinio mokymo įstaigų mokytojai. Nuoširdžiai dėkojame už skirtą laiką ir bendradarbiavimą.

Laukiame Jūsų atsakymų iki 2026 m. balandžio 9 dienos. 

Dėkojame.

maloniai kviečiame lapkričio 5 d. dalyvauti UNESCO-UNEVOC organizuojamame webinare:
