Policy transfer in technical and vocational education to Egypt: general conditions, concepts and experiences

Más información sobre el libro

This volume reports on the three-year research and development project WEB-TT, focusing on the processes and experiences of all participants. It aims to provide insights for institutions in Egypt and Germany that were indirectly involved. Conducted between 2011 and 2014, the project was sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of a program established in 2008 to export vocational education courses. WEB-TT holds a unique position as it was the only project to collaborate directly with a local private company. The objective was to develop, test, and market technology-specific vocational education courses in package solutions, facilitating the application of modern resource-efficient building technologies and power engineering technologies (water and energy) in arid and semi-arid regions, particularly in West Asia and North Africa. A consortium of ten German partners worked together to achieve these goals. The contributions in this anthology critically reflect on the experiences gained and results obtained, while also offering new perspectives for future endeavors.
