Curriculum Development and Implementation
The term curriculum in this issue encompasses the intended, the implemented and the achieved curriculum. The exploration of curriculum in VET is pivotal. Curricula must not only respond to the evolving demands of labour markets but also anticipate future skills needs, ensuring that learners are equipped with both the technical competencies and the transversal skills required for sustainable careers. A deep understanding of curriculum structures and their development and implementation — from the development of national frameworks to the implementation of specific programs in local contexts — provides crucial insights into how VET systems can achieve their mandates of fostering employability and contributing to social equity and personality development.
