Abstract/Citation
Defines 'technical and vocational education' as educational process involving, in addition to general knowledge, the study of technologies and related sciences and the acquisition of practical skills and understanding relating
to occupations in the various sectors of economic and social life. Obliges contracting parties to define strategies and implement programs and curricula for technical and vocational education compatible with their respective education systems. Recognizes that equal employment opportunities should be offered, without discrimination, to teachers and other specialized staff in technical and vocational education. Ensures that their employment conditions should be such that it is possible to attract, recruit and retain staff qualified in their areas of competence.
