Mongolian delegation visits Pegnitz vocational school: exchange at a high level!

An exciting week for vocational training in Pegnitz: Around 20 guests from Mongolia stopped by to take part in an informative exchange. The occasion was a hearty breakfast at the vocational school, which the teachers and students warmly welcomed. The group, consisting of vocational school leaders and quality managers from Mongolia and representatives of the Bayreuth accreditation agency Acquin, researched the facets of vocational training and quality assurance in Germany. As the

Thomas Hofmann, the head of the vocational schools in Bayreuth and Pegnitz, emphasizes the important topics of this exchange. The focus was on quality assurance in vocational training, school development and international cooperation. These aspects are not only important for schools themselves, but also for a planned Mongolian accreditation program that should help to further raise the standards in training.

The connection to international education is not just a local matter. In the context of EU politics, the improvement of vocational training is continuously considered. According to the BildungsServer already made important decisions on the competence development of employees in Europe in June 2016. The aim of this agenda is to make competencies more visible and to focus on the relevant requirements of the labor market. A European framework for high -quality skills is also aimed at, which also focuses on the early determination of the skills of asylum seekers.

Another central player in this process is the German reference center for quality assurance in vocational training (deqa-Vet). This institution has been promoting the networking of the actors of vocational training in Germany since 2008 and brings together the European Network EQAVET, which is a direct connection to the conversations in Pegnitz. The aim of EQAVET is to improve the quality assurance systems within the EU, as was emphasized at the event in Pegnitz.

conclusion

A visit to the Mongolian delegation in Pegnitz shows how important the exchange of international education systems is. Such initiatives not only help to secure quality standards, but also to learn from each other and to continuously improve their own systems. The conversations at the vocational school are a step in this direction and show that the schools in Pegnitz and Bayreuth have a good hand for innovative collaborations.

The exchange is an example of how global perspectives can also achieve fruitful results in local formation. The efforts to quality in vocational training are more in demand than ever, and the dialogue across borders is essential to set the course for the future.
