TORINO PROCESS SYSTEM MONITORING REPORT: GEORGIA (2023)

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Focus and scope of monitoring This report summarises the results of monitoring VET system performance in Georgia, initiated in the context of the Torino Process in 2022 and completed in 2023.1 “Performance” describes the extent to which the VET system delivers against a targeted selection of national and international obligations (commitments) to learners and other stakeholders in. [...] This dimension captures the availability of evidence for informed decision- making, the degree to which governance of VET is participatory, the Steering and C.1 presence and transparency of quality assurance arrangements, the quality management and capacity of staff in leadership positions, and the degree of internationalisation of IVET and CVET. [...] To facilitate reading and the navigation of content, the section groups the presentation of the 30 outcomes by the three major areas of commitment to learners, which were introduced in the first section of this report: access to learning (Area A), quality of learning (Area B), and system organisation (Area C). [...] These outcomes cover the quality of learning of youth and adults in VET in terms of key skills and competences, the exposure of learners in VET to the world of work, the employability of graduates from IVET and CVET, the availability of career guidance for them, as well as the relevance of learning and training content in VET. [...] The discrepancy between the receptiveness to innovation and the subpar mainstream performance in the domains of access, quality, and employability of graduates in the VET system is notable.
