Date: December, 9th to December 10th, 2005.
Location: Tianyu Hotel, Tianjin
Organized in close cooperation between

UNESCO-UNEVOC, International Centre for TVET, Bonn/Germany | |
Background
Referring to the discussions during the UNESCO International Meeting on Innovation and Excellence in TVET Teacher Education held in November 2004 in Hangzhou/China, the organizers of the conference, in cooperation with UNIP (United TVET Network on Innovation and Professional Development), aim to contribute to international discussions and developments concerning the quality of teaching, learning and scholarship in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET)， The development and implementation of an international Master Degree Standard in teacher and trainer education in TVET can be deemed a major undertaking in this process.
During the conference various existing Master degree standards shall be examined and discussed against the background of the international Master framework, especially Master degree programmes implemented by the Universities of Tianjin/China, Nanjing/China, Ho Chi Minh City/Vietnam and Magdeburg/Germany, but also Master degree programmes implemented in other East Asian and South East Asian nations, like Indonesia, Korea and Malaysia.
The organizers realize the importance of learning from other experiences and sharing innovations and best practices. Thus, the organizers plan to host a conference on teacher and trainer education in TVET, in order to bring Asian and other experiences together, especially researchers, planners, policymakers and educators. We hope that the conference will contribute to the identification of training needs, based on advanced scientific findings and recent experiences and also contribute to the identification of ways how advanced standards in teacher and trainer education in TVET within the international Master Degree Standard could be implemented under different and changing conditions. | |
