Preface
The reformed TVET-System is an outcome-based system. It utilizes the needs of the
labor market and occupational requirements from the world of work as the
benchmark and standard for TVET delivery. The requirements from the world of work
are analyzed and documented – taking into account international benchmarking – as
occupational standards (OS).

In the reformed TVET-System, curricula and curriculum development play an

important role with regard to quality driven TVET-Delivery. Curricula help to facilitate
the learning process in a way, that trainees acquire the set of occupational
competences (skills, knowledge and attitude) required at the working place and
defined in the occupational standards (OS). Responsibility for Curriculum
Development will be given to the Regional TVET-Authorities and TVET-Providers.

This curriculum has been developed by a group of experts from different Regional
TVET-Authorities based on the occupational standard for . It has the
character of a model curriculum and is an example on how to transform the
occupational requirements as defined in the respective occupational standard into an
adequate curriculum.

The curriculum development process has been actively supported and facilitated by
the Ministry of Education – in line with one of its mandates to provide technical
support to the regions – and by the TVET-Reform Component of the Engineering
Capacity Building Program.

1.10 Institutional Assessment

Two types of evaluation will be used in determining the extent to which learning
outcomes are achieved. The specific learning outcomes are stated in the modules.
In assessing them, verifiable and observable indicators and standards shall be used.

The formative assessment is incorporated in the learning modules and form part of
the learning process. Formative evaluation provides the trainee with feedback
regarding success or failure in attaining learning outcomes. It identifies the specific
learning errors that need to be corrected, and provides reinforcement for successful
performance as well. For the teacher, formative evaluation provides information for
making instruction and remedial work more effective.

Summative Evaluation the other form of evaluation is given when all the modules in
the program have been accomplished. It determines the extent to which
competence have been achieved. And, the result of this assessment decision shall
be expressed in the term ‘competent or not yet competent’.

Techniques or tools for obtaining information about trainees’ achievement include

oral or written test, demonstration and on-site observation.

1.11 TVET Teachers Profile
