Relevant higher education – Let’s focus!
Education can take many forms. These include: formal education (through academic mainstream schooling, including technical and vocational instruction for youth ); informal education (learning that takes place outside of institutions); special education (for those experiencing intellectual/physical disability); and non-formal education (life-relevant knowledge and skills acquired both within and outside educational institutions).
Wake up: quality education goes hand in hand with decent work
From 18 to 24 October 2011, week II, the e-discussion platform was open to all to discuss the realities of how their education systems have prepared them (and their peers) to access employment. There were more than 300 comments posted by young people from more than 95 countries across the globe – including from Peru, Senegal, Kenya, Yemen and India.
How well do you think that your formal academic or training institution has prepared you for decent jobs?
