Kuvaus
The subject of the upcoming procurement is the design, delivery and implementation support services of an external service provider for TVET teacher training to be carried out in Ethiopia. The procurement supports the digital transformation of the country’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system as part of Specific Objective 2 (SO2) of the DESTA, Digital Ethiopia: Skills and TVET Action programme.
The objective of the procurement is to strengthen the digital, pedagogical and institutional capacities of Ethiopian TVET teachers and teacher trainers so that they are able to deliver high-quality, learner-centred, gender-responsive and accessible digitally enabled vocational education. Particular attention will be paid to gender equality and the inclusion.
The selected tenderer will be responsible for the design and delivery of the first training programme of a three-tier TVET Trainers’ Digital Competence Pathway: Foundation Programme in Digital TVET and Learner-Centred Pedagogy, while the three-tier programme also includes advanced-level training and a Training of Trainers (ToT) programme.
The training programme will be delivered using blended learning modalities (face-to-face, distance and online learning) and will leverage Ethiopia’s national Moodle-based learning management system.
The service package includes (based on preliminary information):
• design and delivery of the training programme and implementation plans in cooperation with national stakeholders and EDUFI
• design and production of an open online course on foundations of digital and learner-centred pedagogy
• facilitation of trainings, workshops, mentoring and peer-learning activities
• assessment of teachers’ competences and certification
• strengthening of institutional capacity for the sustainable implementation of digital TVET education
• management of travel costs and daily allowances for training participants.
The procurement will be implemented in several regions of Ethiopia and will support broader national objectives related to education, employment and digitalisation, as well as the priorities of EU and Finnish development cooperation.
