Abstract	The participants in the Second International Congress on Technical and Vocational Education (TVE), which was devoted to the theme of lifelong learning and training as a bridge to the future, formulated 48 recommendations to the Director-General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The recommendations pertained to six broad themes: changing demands of the 21st Century and challenges to TVE; improving systems providing education and training throughout life; innovating the education and training process; TVE for all; changing roles of government and other stakeholders in TVE; and enhancing international cooperation in TVE. The recommendations call for the following: (1) ensuring that TVE be designed to provide skills for all and remain an accessible basic human right; (2) reforming TVE systems to achieve flexibility, innovation, and productivity; (3) forming a new partnership between education and the world of work and fostering development of generic competencies, the work ethic, technological and entrepreneurial skills, and imparting human values and standards for responsible citizenship; (4) designing TVE experiences as developmental life experiences with cultural and environmental aspects in addition to economic dimensions; and (5) reorienting the TVE curriculum to take account of new subjects and issues of importance.
