Greening Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) across SEAMEO countries: Supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) via Knowledge Transfer from the EdUHK This project is designed to support the efforts of the SEAMEO countries in achieving a green and just transition. SEAMEO, as the organization of South East Asia Ministers of Education, has been closely collaborating with the governments of 11 countries (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam), and it expressed a strong commitment to work with the EdUHK in supporting green transition in the region via education. The recently formulated research agenda for SEAMEO has education for sustainable development as one of its focuses. The overall approach is to support evidence-based policymaking among SEAMEO countries. Therefore, this project has a number of objectives: 1. To collect baseline data among 11 countries on the capacity of TVET educators and leaders to green TVET; use it for planning projects in the region; deliver results at the SEAMEO Centres Policy Research Network (CPRN) Summit 2025, a research conference of the SEAMEO and share policy recommendations. 2. To deliver capacity-building programs in three selected countries: Indonesia, Brunei, and Timor- Leste. 3. To develop implementation plans on Greening TVET for several TVET institutions in each country. Therefore, expertise and skills developed by the team leader through the projects run by the UNEVOC Center (Hong Kong) at the EdUHK will be transferred to the countries in the region to ensure that their societies and economies are better prepared for the challenges of SDG implementation. Project Start Year: 2024, Principal Investigator(s): PAVLOVA, Margarita SDGs Information: 4 - Quality Education, 6 - Clean Water and Sanitation, 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy, 8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth, 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities, 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production, 13 - Climate Action, 17 - Partnerships for the Goals |

Empowering Youth Skills for Green Innovation: Fostering Green Transition to a Sustainable Future The aim of this project was to explore the relationships between green innovation, green transition, and skills requirements to address the implementation of SDGs, UNESCO TVET strategy, and the Green-net initiative that emphasized skills for individuals, economies, and societies to ensure a green transition towards a sustainable future. Green innovation provides the tools and solutions needed for a sustainable future, while the green transition sets the stage for the widespread adoption of these innovations, fostering holistic and transformative change across societies and industries. This project brings together different stakeholders, including industry, youth organizations, educators, and students, to discuss issues of the green transition and the role of education in it. It achieved the following outcomes: • Established understanding of the linkages between green innovation, entrepreneurship, youth, and skills required. • Raised awareness in relation to green innovation and entrepreneurship through the Social Enterprise Pitching Competition • Raised students and academic awareness on how to make the campus more sustainable by identifying sustainability issues and proposing solutions based on photo competition. • Formulated ideas for joint projects for youth empowerment. • Developed practical green skills on how to transform used cooking oil into candles.

Education on green urban development and social entrepreneurship as a tool for developing life and positive values among ethnic minorities in Hong Kong with an impact on EdUHK students This project aims to explore ethnic minority’s (EM) understanding of sustainable urban development issues and advance their green and entrepreneurial skills to enhance their potential to contribute to locally generated solutions for environmental issues and better integrate them into Hong Kong (HK) society. In addition, it examines how appropriate this approach is for working with local university students. The project intervention exposed participants to non-formal learning to develop generic green skills that are related to awareness, ethics, and sensitive behavior toward the natural environment and resources. The development of entrepreneurial competencies allowed participants to formulate ideas for green social enterprises. Thus, this project addresses life and positive values education through the context of sustainability and contributes towards the achievement of SDG11 – Sustainable cities and communities; SDG12 – Sustainable consumption and production; SDG4 – Quality education. The outcomes provide baseline data for understanding how to adapt suggested approaches so they could potentially be taken up by a broader base of HK residents.

University for green and inclusive society: action-based campus for a sustainable future The project was designed to allow students to learn about and engage in a design-based approach for project development and implementation, work with different stakeholders, and organize on-campus events to raise awareness about sustainable development and green transition. In terms of research, students designed a survey and collected data on the EdUHK students’ awareness of sustainability issues and their pro-environmental behaviour. With more than 200 responses, the analysis provides a baseline for understanding what can be improved in terms of teaching and learning, students’ engagement, and greening activities on campus so SDGs can be more effectively addressed. A number of ideas were generated on how to stimulate demand for greening initiatives and supply of these greening activities. Project Start Year: 2023, Principal Investigator(s): PAVLOVA, Margarita |

Capacity Building for Addressing SDGs through Curriculum and Pedagogy Innovation in TVET Dr Margarita Pavlova, Director of the UNEVOC Center (Hong Kong), won a competitive grant under a new UNEVOC Network Coaction Initiative by the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Center, Bonn for the purposes of knowledge transfer. The project aims to build the capacity of TVET practitioners and TVET leaders (including government officials) about the issue of greening TVET and, in particular, the curriculum. The team led by Dr Pavlova will provide training to TVET educators from Shenzhen and Hangzhou, China, Mongolia, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria using online resources that support problem-oriented, project-based pedagogy that is learner-centered. Resources were developed through the GRF and subsequent CRAC projects. These resources have been successfully used in pilot initiatives with different groups of TVET leaders and practitioners across the Asia-Pacific region, including Hong Kong. Participants will engage in active learning and develop local case studies to contextualize resources that can be used for future training and teaching on green economic restructuring and greening societies in their countries.

Creating an Impact: Setting up a Green Skills Hub at the EdUHK The purpose of this project is to support the Hong Kong government’s resolution to green Hong Kong (in order to decrease carbon emissions) by developing human resources that possess the necessary green skills. The project will thoroughly research the current curriculum greening practices among vocational and professional education and training (VPET) providers in Hong Kong and will simultaneously investigate PVE teacher training practices at the EdUHK, and other universities in the region, with the aim to formulate recommendations for VTC and PVE programs at our university. The results of the research will be disseminated well beyond Hong Kong to enable knowledge transfer by training TVET leaders in the region. The greening of VPET is defined as the development of green skills and the provision of knowledge that eases the transition to green economies and societies (UNESCO, 2016). Greening VPET has been recognized as a means to achieving sustainable development, since professional and vocational education and training underpins many sustainable development goals (SDG) such as UNESCO’s SDGs 4, 6 and 8 that target poverty reduction, job creation and decent work provision. Our proposal is closely aligned with the strategic development of the University (EdUHK’s Strategic Plan 2016-2025 – Nov 2016 draft), which is to emphasize local and regional knowledge transfer, to strengthen the provision of education leadership training, and also to advance digital tools in order to maximize their significant potential for learning, professional development and teaching. The proposed project contributes directly to the university’s internationalization policy and supports the internationalization initiatives of the Faculty of Education and Human Development. It is designed to have a visible impact on the Hong Kong VPET community and in the region (particularly through two networks – UNESCO-UNEVOC centers and RAVTE – Regional Association for Vocational Teacher Education in East and South East Asia) in terms of improving the quality of PVE teacher training and helping VPET institutions in Hong Kong to develop an holistic approach towards greening their curriculum and operations, thereby having a positive impact on the lowering of carbon emissions. All programs at the EdUHK can access the materials developed throughout the project, as generic green skills are an essential part of 21st century skills that are targeted by all teacher-training programs at our university. The area of greening skills is gaining momentum throughout the globe. Green skills projects that have been established in different parts of the world highlight an increased interest in researching this area for the purposes of both knowledge generation and its application to policy and practice. The Third International Congress on TVET in 2012 (Shanghai Consensus) made an explicit recommendation to “include education for ‘green’ economies and ‘green’ societies as a part of TVET qualifications and programs, and advance the ‘greening TVET’ agenda towards low carbon and climate-resilient growth and development”. This project will set up a green skills hub at the UNEVOC Centre (Hong Kong) that will be hosted by EdUHK in order to further advance green skills research and development in Hong Kong and the wider region.

Training and Adult Education Landscape in Singapore – Characteristics, Challenges and Policies This multistage project investigates the landscape of the training and adult education (TAE) sector in Singapore. TAE is critical to Singapore as it helps to improve workforce productivity, competency and resilience through the culture of lifelong learning to meet major economic and social challenges caused by global economic competition. However, to ensure the sector’s development in a systematic, integrated and holistic manner, it is important to gain a deeper understanding of its current status. Therefore, this study aims to provide baseline information about the TAE sector and identify TAE providers’ characteristics and business models, profiles of TAE professionals, their beliefs and practices as well as challenges they face and impact of government policies and initiatives on TAE practices and development.

Benchmarking VET institutions’ engagement with their local region and communities This project is aimed at evaluating and fine-tuning a benchmarking instrument that can help to evaluate the ways VET institutions engage with their local region and communities. Regional engagement refers to these diverse ways in which institutions and their staff and students connect and share their knowledge, skills and experience with a whole variety of interests within the region in which they are located, including public policy and service delivery agencies, the business community, not-for-profit organisations and community groups, in order to enhance not only the learning of their students but also the social, economic and cultural development of the region, the quality of life and opportunities it offers, and the well-being of those living in the area. Benchmarking is now a well established element in processes of continuous improvement in businesses and in public sector organisational performance. The suggested instrument consists of several domains including Developing human capital; Developing regional learning processes and social capital; Cultural development. Significance of the project is related to the assumption that systematically collected data from different organisations or parts of organisations can be used comparatively to understand organisational strengths and weaknesses, and to identify aspects of performance in which change should be a priority. This research will serve as a pilot that can be then promoted to the HK government as one of the instruments to assess quality of TVET.

Greening Skills in Hong Kong: Effective Partnerships between Vocational Education, Government and Industry to Support the Greening of the Economy The importance of transitioning towards a greener economy has been recognised globally by different regions and countries (e.g., The European Comission, 2010; The Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China, 2011). Challenges associated with the current and future shortage of resources, their inflating prices, technological development and innovation, new markets, and changes in industrial practices and consumer demands (OECD, 2011; UNEP, 2011) have led to structural economic changes, towards ‘greening’ in business and industry. Issues of climate change, health, and other aspects of personal and social well-being that are closely related to the quality of environment, have become a primary concern for governments globally, including the government of Hong Kong. The purpose of this project is to examine governments’ influences on new skills requirements, employers’ needs, and the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector’s responses, with the aim of supporting skills development towards greening economy in Hong Kong. Its focus is on the improvements of collaboration between government, TVET and industry. The project employs a theoretical base developed from the Triple Helix models of Academe-Industry-Government relations (Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff, 2000) that illustrate a diversity of relationships between the entities that can range from a strong separation, to overlapping of institutional spheres. This will guide the analysis of data and development of new frameworks. Outcomes of the project, which contribute to both theory and improved policy and practice include a conceptualisation of current practices in Hong Kong that enable skills training to adapt to changing economic needs and policy initiatives towards greening; models that consolidate current partnerships pertaining to the greening of skills development; new, forward looking and innovative frameworks which seek to improve collaboration between government, industry and TVET providers towards strengthening and upgrading greening skills; and identification of patterns of TVET greening for countries at different stages of economic development.

Greening Skills: How TVET Institutions are responding in the Asia-Pacific region The project is funded by UNESCO-UNEVOC Centre (Bonn) and is an important step in contributing towards an understanding of the ways TVET institutions are responding to greening of economies. It is broadly aimed at drawing an overview of patterns in greening jobs in the Asia-Pacific region, teaching/training the skills required to meet the demands of these jobs and analysing skills’ bottlenecks. This study brings qualitative and quantitative information on the skills that TVET students acquire during their studies as perceived by teachers and students themselves. China, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines and Sri Lanka are involved in this study. Data collected through survey seeks to explore how greening through topping up skills in two sectors, namely construction and agriculture, is embedded in TVET programs and how this is related to the government’s agenda on the greening of societies and economies. With a view that there is a need to re-orient education and training to integrate new skill requirements to meet the demands of low-carbon transitions, the study aims to facilitate understanding on how skills can effectively support transitions and how education and training can further improve, through including green skills into their programs to support implementation of government policies and empowering the youth for greater skills mobility and employability. Policy options for Asia and the Pacific region will be formulated. Project Start Year: 2015, Principal Investigator(s): PAVLOVA, Margarita |

Challenges and Opportunities in Skills Building for Innovation: Human Resource Dimensions of Hong Kong's Green Innovation The research project focuses on the processes of innovation diffusion and on the role of human capital in facilitating these dissemination processes. The aim of the project is to contribute to increased efficiency of government spending on R&D by examining the role of skills in the implementation of the results of R&D programmes in the delivery of public services. The overall question that is answered by the project is how to improve diffusion by addressing needs in a broad range of skills that are essential to facilitate effective change and ensure an active involvement of people at the work place in the innovation processes? The case studies developed by the project examine how innovation, and green innovation in particular, is related to on-job skills development and training programs of vocational institutions.

Preparing Urban Youth for Further Study and Careers: An International Study Involving Hong Kong How well are schools preparing young people for higher education and careers? Hong Kong introduced changes to the education system to better prepare young people for a positive future. This project examines how effective these changes are, and how Hong Kong’s education system compares internationally. This project will track a sample of young people from the beginning of senior secondary schooling through to higher education or employment. The sample will include young people from different backgrounds. Teams of researchers (independently funded) will conduct the same study in cities in Europe, North America and Australia. By studying Hong Kong within this context, we will assess differences and similarities in student transitions and the factors that influence them. The research aims to identify a cohort of young people at the beginning of senior secondary school to provide baseline data on HK students in terms of engagement in schools and learning; 21st century skills; plans for the future; home and family contexts; to identify a representative sample of S6 students to compare intentional destinations and the real destinations for students from different types of schools; to examine how young people’s perceptions and outlooks vary according to the type of school they take in the senior years of secondary schooling and according to their backgrounds; to investigate the range of support structures, programs and activities which schools operate to assist different learners to complete school successfully or to undertake alternative courses, and the ways in which strong learners are challenged and extended in their transition through to the end of school; to compare institutional arrangements in Hong Kong with arrangements in other cities; and to identify the differential impact of these arrangements on destinations for young people in HK and to identify the strategies used by schools to ensure valuable transitions for all their students.

TA 7879 REG: Education and Skills for Inclusive Growth and Green Jobs The growing prominence of Asian economies, together with globalization and technological innovation, are leading to long term changes in trade, business and labor markets. Countries in Asia need to align skills and training policies with economic and industrial policies to sustain growth, productivity and competitiveness, and address problems of unemployment and underemployment, particularly among the youth. A re-engineered, modernized and innovative skills development system, contributing to employability and sustainable livelihoods, is called for.The Asian Development Bank has a significant and potentially increasing engagement with its developing member countries (DMCs) in the skills sector. Appropriate investments and forward looking strategies are needed in the light of Asia’s ongoing structural transformation. This regional research and development project aims to strengthen link between research, policy and practice to enhance the quality and relevance of skills development systems in four countries(India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Indonesia) participating in the project. The details of the project and its expected outputs can be found in the document: ADB Research and Development Technical Assistance, Education and Skills for Inclusive Growth and Green Jobs, October 2011. The TA will help the DMCs put in place timely and effective policies and strategies for skills development. It will facilitate dialogue and networking between the public sector, business and sector councils, industry and occupational associations to assess gaps in policy and practice for the development of skills and to anticipate future needs. The TA will address both technology-oriented high-end skills as well as middle and lower-end skills. The TA will lead to improved knowledge and enhanced capacity in the DMCs to create an adequate skills base to support growth and employment, and serve green jobs in key industries. Education and training institutions will become aware of best and innovative practices for curricula and training approaches to respond to skill needs in key industries. The TA will address industries with potential for high employment, growth, and greening (e.g., building and construction, transport, waste management, energy, and hospitality). Four countries - India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Viet Nam will be the main participating countries in the TA, although the findings and recommendations arising from this research study will have relevance beyond these four countries. National consultants will be drawn three from each country from India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam for which in-depth country reports will be prepared. Three International consultants will also be recruited. The TA will address appropriate skills for middle-income economies and strategies for increasing competitiveness, including for new demands such as through green economy initiatives. While a common methodology and approach will be used for the four countries, the in-depth country reports will respond to the specific context of each country and take into account economic growth, structural transformation, and transitions to green economy policy priorities as articulated by the countries.The Asian Development Bank (ADB) recruits 15 consultants through HKIEd, in accordance with the ADB Guidelines on the Use of Consultants. The work assignment is for 2 years, from April 2012 to April 2014. Project Start Year: 2012, Principal Investigator(s): MACLEAN RUPERT DONALD IAIN 馬敬言 (PAVLOVA, Margarita as Co-Investigator) |
