Innovative Strategies in Technical and Vocational Education and Training for Accelerated Human Resource Development in South Asia: Bangladesh
Asian Development Bank | July 2015
Abstract
This publication is part of a series of six country reports on technical and vocational education and
training (TVET) and higher education in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Each report presents
current arrangements and initiatives in the respective country’s skills development strategies. These are
complemented by critical analyses to determine key issues, challenges, and opportunities for innovative
strategies toward global competitiveness, increased productivity, and inclusive growth. The emphasis is to
make skills training more relevant, efficient, and responsive to emerging domestic and international labor
markets. The reports were finalized in 2013 under the Australian AID-supported Phase 1 of Subproject 11
(Innovative Strategies for Accelerated Human Resource Development) of Regional Technical Assistance
6337 (Development Partnership Program for South Asia).
