TVET and HIV/AIDS

HIV/AIDS can have a tremendous impact on the education/training systems and the labour force. The TVET systems of those countries most affected by the pandemic need to be adapted to address the problems caused by AIDS. Within this context, UNESCO-UNEVOC has developed “TVET and HIV/AIDS” into one of its areas of work and addresses the HIV/AIDS problematic through its activities in UNESCO Member States.
