ETQAAN Launches International Workshop on The Use of TVET Quality Measurement Indicators
Monday, March 30, 2026, the Egyptian TVET for Quality Assurance and Accreditation Authority (ETQAAN), chaired by Prof. Dr. Mohamed Mousa \Emarah, in collaboration with the European Training Foundation (ETF), launched the international workshop titled “The Use of Quality Measurement Indicators for the TVET System.”
The workshop brings together international experts from Italy, the Netherlands, Moldova, North Macedonia, Hungary, Palestine, and Egypt, alongside representatives from the Fulbright Commission, the Canadian Embassy, the World Bank, the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), relevant national authorities, and key stakeholders. It was attended by Major General Eng. Mohamed Hassan El-Ezzaby, representing the Minister of Defense, and Prof. Dr. Ahmed El-Gyoushy, representing the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research.
The workshop aimed to discuss the proposed TVET quality measurement indicators to be applied in Egypt, which are developed by ETQAAN in collaboration with all relevant ministries, authorities, and stakeholders. It also reviewed best international practices and experiences. Dr. Dalia Taha, Senior Expert at ETQAAN, presented “TVET Quality Measurement Indicators System in Egypt: Towards Data-Driven Internationalization,”, while Mr. Mihaylo Milovanovitch, Senior Human Capital Development Expert – Leader of Monitoring and System Performance Team, shared the European Training Foundation’s experience in implementing TVET indicators. Mrs. Pauline van den Bosch, Senior Administrative Consultant in Vocational Education and Training, presented the Netherlands’ experience.
On the first day, the workshop addressed the selection of indicators, mechanisms for data collection and analysis, and their use in supporting decision-making and developing educational and training policies.
Prof. Dr. Mohamed Mousa Emarah, Chairman of ETQAAN, highlighted in his opening remarks that launching TVET quality measurement indicators represents a strategic step towards building an integrated education system based on international standards, enhancing graduates’ competitiveness in local and global labor markets.
He added that this workshop marks a significant milestone in transition from framework setting to actual implementation, and systematic measurement step. The results of TVET quality assessment are no longer merely circulated data but constitute a comprehensive system based on nationally developed indicators aligned with international standards, supported by real data and continuous measurement. This approach provides a vital tool for identifying strengths, diagnosing gaps, addressing them, and developing evidence-based policies.
Prof. Dr. Emara emphasized that since its establishment, ETQAAN has sought to balance national identity with international openness by developing quality standards and indicators aligned with the latest global systems, in partnership with major global institutions.
He also noted that internationalizing quality measurement indicators serves as a true compass for performance evaluation and evidence-based decision-making, ensuring that their application will bring a qualitative leap to Egypt’s TVET system.
The workshop will continue for two days, featuring broad participation from relevant ministry representatives, international TVET experts, leaders of the Military Technological College, presidents of public and private technological universities, and representatives of industrial entities interested in developing TVET system.
