If key Government of Liberia entities are endowed with a robust technical base to support the effective governance, planning, management, oversight and delivery of TVET, they will be better able to deliver on national TVET policy objectives. As EMIS is strengthened, the Government of Liberia will be better able to anticipate education needs and generate quality information that informs TVET policy. As TVET is increasingly aligned to labour market needs, private sector will have more incentives to engage in TVET governance, funding and delivery; this will further improve TVET quality and relevance. As the offer of demand-driven skills training progressively increases throughout the national territory in all Counties, TVET access and equity will improve. As Liberian youth access quality, inclusive and gender-sensitive TVET, they will acquire the technical skills necessary to access a wider range of employment and self-employment opportunities. As more youth enter productive sectors (formal or informal), youth, their families and their communities will see their livelihoods improve. As VTCs are able to generate additional income and top-up teachers' salaries, retention rates will improve, equipment will be maintained and materials will be available for learning. A trained and skilled young workforce will also decrease poaching of instructors, and will increase the productivity of private and industrial sectors. These trends combined will contribute to increasing local incomes, to reducing poverty and to promoting inclusive growth. Addressing the spatial, gender-bias gap and equity issues in TVET access (e.g., rural, vulnerable disabled youth, and at-risk youth) will improve social cohesion at community and national levels."}, {"bbox": [1027, 1680, 1144, 1705], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 14 of 24"}]
