Abstract | Data for studies of vocational education and training systems in Cyprus and five other countries in the region were gathered through an analysis of existing studies and visits to the main stakeholders in the countries. Some of the main conclusions reached by the study of Cyprus are the following: (1) Cyprus is a rapidly developing country that must face changes in its education and employment systems; (2) the country needs to improve the overall attractiveness of the vocational and education training system in order to secure a balanced and transparent structure of qualifications within an overall coherent vocational training system; (3) while unemployment rates are low, the labor market situation is characterized by a relatively high level of graduate unemployment; and (4) the field of continuing and further vocational education and training is well established. Main recommendations of the study include internal restructuring and modernization of both initial and continuing vocational institutions, improving the quality and status of secondary technical and vocational education, improving and modernizing teaching methods and assessment approaches, and improving national policy-making capacities for the implementation and monitoring of European programs.
