Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the perception to Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and General Higher Education (GHE) of students, teachers and TVET institutes' directors in Cambodia. As a research method, the study conducted the focus group discussions at Regional Technical Centers in the five representative regions from May to June in 2019. The result was TVET graduates have better chance with linkage in the labour market than GHE graduates through skill-focused curriculum and public private partnership between institutions and enterprises in Cambodia. The study recommend to implement a national strategy to improve the status and awareness of technical skills related jobs and the career pathways for the technical skill level courses.

이 연구의 목적은 캄보디아의 학생, 교사 및 TVET 기관장들의 직업기술 교육훈련 (TVET)과 일반 고등교육 (GHE)에 대한 인식을 비교 분석하는 것이다. 연구 방법으로는 캄보디아 5개 대표 지역의 TVET 교육기관 들에서 15명의 직업기술 교육훈련 학생, 교사, 기관장들을 대상으로 포커스 그룹 토론을 진행하였다. 그 결과 TVET 졸업생은 캄보디아의 기관과 기업 간의 공공 민간 파트너십과 기술 중심의 커리큘럼을 통해 GHE 졸업생보다 노동 시장에서 더 나은 기회를 얻고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 캄보디아 직업기술 교육훈련 과정을 담당하고 있는 캄보디아 고용노동부가 국가 차원에서 직업기술훈련 분야로 유인할 수 있는 정책과 직업기술훈련 분야 취업과 진로를 확산하고 개선하기 위한 국가전략을 세워 추진해야 함을 권장한다.
