National skills strategy: modalities chalked out to put NAVTEC Ordinance before parliament

The National Vocational and Technical Education Commission (NAVTEC) Ordinance would be presented before the parliament to give it shape of an act for effective implementation of the "Vision for the National Skills Strategy, 2008-2012". Sources told Business Recorder on Wednesday that the Ministry of Law and Justice and NAVTEC authorities chalked out modalities for presentation of the ordinance before the parliament.
This was stated during a meeting between NAVTEC Chairman Adnan A. Khwaja and Federal Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Farooq H Naek. The NAVTEC vision recognises the importance of policy co-ordination between provincial government skills, development initiatives and other national policies related to finance, industry, agriculture, trade, education, labour, employment, and poverty reduction, to provide a coherent direction to all economic growth and social development strategies.
To set a national direction for skills development for the next five years, it represents the first phase of the formulation of the National Skills Strategy, 2008-2012. The vision provides a framework, describing the different elements of reform around which consensus would be built, based on which, an implementation plan will be formed.
The most important outcome of an effective skills development system is to provide opportunities to the trainees' better employment. Moreover, training and subsequent employment opportunities must be available to everyone. This would be achieved through National Qualifications Framework, Quality Training Framework, Research, Management reforms of training institutes and teachers' training.
