32. Different countries are facing complex issues –
Global competitiveness and sustainable development
To face the future challenges of skill shortage in the world of work

33. Internationally and locally acceptable standard qualifications framework for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) logically can solve these problems

34. Findings of the study
Seamless qualifications framework of Australia, Philippine and Sri Lanka
Have the greater response in the TVET sector education and training system
It allows mobility in terms of flexible entry and exit into the countries’ educational system.
In Bangladesh newly introduced NTVQF is going to be implemented to unifying the TVET system throughout the country.

35. Recommendation
A significant number of TVET institutions but low enrolment in BD
To addressing vital challenges such as piecemeal regulation, unifying training provision and quality assurance in the TVET system.

36. Recommendation
Inter-ministerial coordination needs
so that the objectives of the NTVQF can be implemented across the twenty three ministries that deliver some form of TVET and skills training.
