later in this section.]
• The nominal duration of the course will depend upon the time taken by a typical student for
developing the competencies covered in the course to the specified level for and within each Unit
of Competency. That will be transparent from the assigned National Technical Vocational
Qualification Framework (NTVQF) level, elements, performance criteria, range of variables and
the evidence guide of each Unit of Competency, and the time required for the award of the
qualification at the NTVQF level of the course. The Units of Competency contained in the course
are included in Part C.
• It is very likely that the length of training required for achieving a given level of the qualification
could vary from occupation to occupation. For example, welding competencies may take a longer
time to develop than machine operations competencies. The length proposed for each
qualification, though nominal, must be based on a clear and sound logic.
• The recommended Off Job training for a National Technical Vocational Qualification Framework
(NTVQF) Level 1 course is a minimum of 360 nominal learning hours. A higher level NTVQF
course must have at least 270 nominal hours of additional learning for each higher NTVQF level.
For example, a Level 2 NTVQF course will have (360 + 270 =) 630 nominal hours of learning and
a Level 3 NTVQF course will have (360 + 270 + 270 =) 900 nominal learning hours.
• The recommended work experience/On Job training is a minimum of 0 hours for a NTVQF Level
1 course, and 216 hours for each higher NTVQF level course.
• If the length of the Off Job and/or On Job training is more than the recommended minimum, there
must be adequate justification. Very strong justification is required if the nominal duration of the
course is more than 20% of the recommended minimum. Generally the nominal duration of the
course should not be more than 25% of the recommended minimum.
NOTE
If the course is delivered under the apprenticeship model, the training and assessment will occur mostly at the
workplace and may include some ‘block courses’at training institutions depending on the needs of the stakeholders.
State the intended purpose of the course (i.e. Why the course is offered, for whom and what
competencies will be developed?) The intended purpose should meet the relevant Standard for
Accreditation of courses.
• The purpose of the course must contain adequate information to help the stakeholders
make informed decision on whether or not the course and/or the graduates will be of
value to them.

Provide evidence of industry/enterprise/community need and support for the course. Describe the
consultation and validation process completed before and during the course design and development
process. The process for identifying Industry/enterprise/community needs and the outcomes should meet
the relevant Standard for Accreditation of courses.
TheIndustry Skills Council for the Transport Equipment industry sector and the Bangladesh
Technical Education Board organised the development of the competency standards/Units of
Competency and the course accreditation documents for the Transport Equipment industry
sector through a systematic process.
The first step in the process was the identification of the industry relevant skill sets for the
particular occupation or the titles of the Units of Competency for the occupation. For that
purpose,a Technical Sub Committee was formed by informing the Industry Skills Council
nominated comprising technical experts specialising in the particular occupation, Machine
ShopPractice. The selection criteria for the Technical Sub Committee (TSC) are attached
(Refer: Appendix 3). Members of the Technical Sub Committee (TSC) wereappointed by
theIndustry Skills Council (ISC). The list of members of the Technical Sub Committee
forMachine Shop Practiceoccupationis attached (Refer: Appendix 4). The titles of the Units of
Competency for each occupation were identified by the respective Technical Sub Committee.
The titles of the Units of Competency recommended by the TSC for Machine Shop Practice
occupation were vetted and validated by the Transport Equipment Industry Skills Council.
The second step in the process was the development of the Units of Competency. For
developing the Units of Competency, local Experts who is a specialist in the Machine Shop
Practiceoccupation, was appointed. The local Experts for the occupation, under the guidance
prepared a draft version of the Units of Competency. When the draft version of the Units of
Competency for the occupation was completed, those draft documents were reviewed by the
Standards and Curriculum Development Committee (SCDC) for the occupation comprising
three representatives from the Industry, one representative each from to the training institutions
managed by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) and Bureau of Manpower
Employment and Training (BMET), and a Privately managed TVET institution, and BTEB, the
Quality Assurance Body. The Terms of Reference for the Standards and Curriculum
Development Committee (SCDC) is attached (Refer: Appendix 5).The list of members of the
SCDC for theMachine Shop Practice occupationis attached (Refer: Appendix 6). The refined
Units of Competency were recommended by the SCDC to the Industry Skills Council for
validation. This whole process was supported and monitored by the Local and Trade Expert.

Version 1.0
Subsequently, the Transport Equipment Industry Skills Council, in consultation with specialists
in the industry, vetted and validated the SCDC-endorsed Units of Competency for the Machine
Shop Practiceoccupation.
The third step in the process was the development of the Course Accreditation Document by
the national consultant/Local Expert for the development of curriculum documentation under the
guidance of an International Consultant. This process involved the expansion of the Units of
Competency to collect a range of curricular information and consolidation into the Course
Accreditation Document. The draft version of the Course Accreditation Document prepared by
the national consultant was reviewed by the Standards and Curriculum Development
Committee. Subsequent to the SCDC’s review of the Course Accreditation Document, it was
refined by the national consultant and submitted to the SCDC for endorsement and
recommendation to the Bangladesh Technical and Vocational Education Board (BTEB) for
approval. The BTEB approved this Course Accreditation Document, in consultation with
curriculum specialists and the Transport Equipment Industry Skills Council.
The Fourth step in the process was the development of Course Accreditation Document by the
national expert under the guidance of Trade Expert. This process involved the expansion of the
Units of Competency to collect a range of curricular information and consolidation into the
Course Accreditation Document. The draft version of the Course Accreditation Document
prepared by the Local experts was reviewed by the Standards and Curriculum Development
Committee. Subsequent to the SCDC’s review of the Course Accreditation Document, it was
refined by the Trade Expert and submitted to the SCDC for endorsement and recommendation
to the Bangladesh Technical and Vocational Education Board (BTEB) for approval. The BTEB
approved this Course Accreditation Document, in consultation with curriculum specialists and
the Transport Equipment Industry Skills Council.
There is no competency based training course leading to the National Certificate in Machine
Shop Practice (NTVQF Level 2) in Bangladesh.

5S system - sort, straighten/set in order, shine/systematic cleaning, standardise,
sustain), fire safety,chemical safety, machinerysafety, electrical safety, radiation safety,
etc.] will be included within almost all the UoCs.
• The assessment of demonstration of safe practices will occur over a long period of time
and multiple assessments will be used to collect sufficient evidencefor the competency.
Teachers should incorporate in their delivery of the course health, safety and security concepts
and initiatives relevant to Bangladesh. This willinclude the essential underpinning knowledge,
skillsand attitude required by students to develop competencies in the generic Occupational
Safety and Health (OSH) module and the OSH related components of all other modules
embedded in this course. Care should be taken to refer to suitable workplace texts that can be
integrated into delivery and assessment strategies.

It is expected that usually the entry requirement for a higher level NTVQF course will be the immediately
lower NTVQF qualification in the occupation or specialised job role, if applicable and available, or
equivalent competence determined by a valid process [e.g. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)].
Any entry requirement must be verifiable through appropriate evidence or any other suitable means.
It is also expected that a NTVQF course is not ‘an exclusively terminal course’ and a typical student in
Bangladesh will aspire to pursue higher training and advance further. The regulations must provide the
opportunity for the academic and career advancement/progression and to meet the rights of aspiring
individuals who are able to demonstrate likelihood of success at various levels.
The minimum entry requirement for the National Certificate in Machine Shop Practice (NTVQF
Level 1) is
• SSC Pass or evidence of equivalent achievement or
• Grade 8Course Completed and Pass in a relevant Challenge Test or
• Pass in a relevant Pre-vocational course or
• At least 3 years relevant work experience in the Machine Shop Practice sectionand pass
in a relevant Challenge Test.
The potential employers are the enterprises/industriesin the Machine Shop Practicesection
of the Transport Equipment Industry sector and the age required for full time employment in
the Machine Shop Practice occupation within the Transport Equipment Industry sector will be
determined by the laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh.
When the course is advertised, the potential applicants must be informed of any age or other
restrictions for full employment.
Selection criteria applied when there are more applicants than the number of spaces available for training
must be transparent.It is expected that for some courses (e.g. Graphic Design, Web Design, Supervision,
etc.) students with relevant abilities (e.g. creative thinking,logical thinking, supervisory) may be given
preference.
If there are more applicants than the number of spaces available preference will be given to
those who have greater likelihood of success as indicated by previous educational achievement
and/or recent relevant industry experience.
However, special consideration will be given to a reasonable number of physically,economically
or socially disadvantaged groups of people to ensure equity,if there is no health and safety risk
to the applicant and/or fellow trainees and the rights of other students are not hinderedor
crushed in an unfair and/or unethicalmanner.
A screening/challenge test and/or interview may be administered to select the deserving
applicants.
1. Describe the course assessment strategy in terms of how it effectively judges participants’
achievement of outcomes. The strategy should outline the approach to assessment and evidence
gathering to be followed by the assessors, including any mandated and/or recommended modes of
17
Bangladesh Technical Education Board
National Certificate in Machine Shop Practice (NTVQF Level 1)
Version 1.0
assessment.
2. Describe how assessment of the course will be consistent with the relevantStandards for
Accreditation of Courses and identify course assessment strategies which:
• are consistent with the specifications included in the nationally endorsed UoC
• ensure that work placement and regulatory requirements
• justify mandatory workplace assessment, or assessment through simulation if these are to be
used and include advice on how they may be achieved
• identify any special arrangements that may facilitate Recognition of Prior Learning. Recognition
of Prior Learning (RPL) could include ‘assessment of prior learning’ or ‘pre-arranged recognition
of learning’ (e.g. transfer of credit/cross credit/specific exemption).
Assessment should:
• be criterion-referenced and cover all the elements included in the UoC and collectively
address the performance criteria considering the identified rangeof variables and the
required underpinning knowledge, skills and attitudes to demonstrate competency
• integrate knowledge, skills and attitudes, wherever possible, in the form of work related
practical/hands-on activity
• include assessment covering appropriate aspects of on- and off-job components of
training included in the course
• generally involve evidence collection on more than one occasion and cover a variety
of contexts or situations especially, considering the scope identified in the range
statements and, in certain cases, will be ongoingover a longer period of time (e.g. OSH,
generic/key skills).
• beequitable to all groups or individuals by including reasonable adjustments
• be monitored, evaluated and reviewed to ensure that there is consistency in the
interpretation of evidence
• provide for the recognition of competencies no matter how, where or when they have
been acquired – e.g. Structured Training in the training establishments
(Colleges/Institutes/Training Centres), Apprentice Training, Non-formal Training etc.
• be made accessible to individuals so that they can progress with their learning and/or
gain the national qualification within a reasonable period of time
• have a participatory approach to assessment (i.e. the process of assessment should
be jointly developed/agreed between the assessor and the candidate) and make
reasonable adjustments (i.e. flexible within reason).
• allow individuals to appeal against assessment decisions, with provision for
reassessment.
Assessment Methods:
• Integrated with work and learning in an ongoing way (not one-off assessment occasion)
• Manageable (will not compromise learning, must be easy to administer)
Assessment process should involve planning, preparation and validation of assessment tools,
evidence collection, judgement making and validation of results.
Assessment procedures and the criteria for judging performance must be made clear to all
individuals seeking assessment.

(APL) of the student/trainee by matching and evaluating the evidence provided by the
student/trainee and/or the competencies possessed by the student/trainee with the Units of
Competency/Modules for which credit is sought.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) could involve the matching and evaluation of the
competencies included in the course delivered by institution/department seeking Transfer of Credit
(ToC) with the Units of competency for which Transfer of Credit (ToC) is sought, in addition to
evaluating the institution’s/department’s Quality Management System and monitoring its
implementation.
OR
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) may involve only the matching and evaluation of the
competencies included in the course delivered by institution/department seeking Transfer of Credit
(ToC) with the Units of competency for which Transfer of Credit (ToC)is sought, if the institution
seeking ToC is confirmed to be implementing a Quality Management System comparable and
acceptable to the institution granting RPL through ToC.
International – recognition and validation processes vary significantly between education providers
and across countries. For specific RPL, a negotiated agreement is required. Agreements should
be negotiated on an individual basis by the graduate and the chosen overseas institution or an
authorised representative of the overseas institution. RPL is reached by matching relevant
learning outcomes of the courses offered by an institution and the applicant’s current
competencies or the competencies covered by the applicant’s course.
Additional information on RPL could be found in Section 13of the National Skills Development
Policy for Bangladesh.
Teachers can access advice, from BTEB, on RPL processes and existing agreements at national
and international levels.

A key driver of current efforts to reform technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in
Bangladesh is the need to strengthen linkages between industry and the national training system
The EC-ILO TVET Reform Project is currently working to strengthen the TVET system in
Bangladesh through a wide range of activities. These include initiatives to improve productivity
through skills development and efforts to improve the quality and relevance of training for priority
skilled occupations in key industry sectors.
To this end, Industry Skills Committees are being established by the project in four economic sub-
sectors: agro-food processing, transport, leather & leather goods, and information technology. In
the coming months, the ADB funded Skills Development Project also plans to establish similar
committees in a further three sectors; building & construction, light engineering and readymade
garments.
The potential for these committees to promote skills development in the economy of Bangladesh
has also been recognized by the recently established National Skills Development Council
(NSDC), which has included in its Action Plan the establishment of the industry advisory bodies in
Bangladesh.
In Bangladesh, skills are increasingly recognized by government, industry and donors as crucial for
poverty reduction, productivity improvement and the nation’s continued development. Industry
Skills Committees can work as key agents of change in this regard as they provide a forum for
broad sector wide discussions on skill issues. Consequently, the formation of the Industry Skill
Committee should be recognized as an important step in strengthening skills development in
Bangladesh.
It is important that industry provides strategic input to government and training providers so
industry skill needs are met and the training system supports ongoing industry development.
Introduction:
In order to guide formation of these Skills Committees, the EC-ILO TVET Reform Project has
developed a draft Terms of Reference (TOR). It is envisaged that draft TOR will be discussed and
endorsed at the first meeting of each committee.
The establishment and operation of the Industry Skills Committees is supported by the
Government of Bangladesh who has approved these activities in the Project Work Plan.
To ensure the effective operation of the committees, the TVET Reform Project will invite individuals
to participate who have a high level of enthusiasm for industry skills development and a strong
commitment to the goals of the project.
32
Bangladesh Technical Education Board
National Certificate in Machine Shop Practice (NTVQF Level 1)
Version 1.0
In the first six months of 2009, the initial work of committees will focus on key outputs for the TVET
Reform Project, including the identification of the industry skills training practices and identification
of deficiencies, the development of a sector skill development plan and the development of new
skills standards and curriculum for priority occupations and trades identified by the sector skill plan.
After that work has been substantially advanced, it is envisaged that the committees will focus on
broader industry development issues as they relate to skills and TVET. As the committees
establish themselves, it is expected that they will attract funds from government and or donors to
undertake specific activities.
Terms of Reference:
The following TOR has been developed to guide the initial operation of the committees. Industry
Skills Committees will undertake to:
General Tasks:
1. Monitor and review skills development practices in the industry sectors and identify and
overcome deficiencies;
3. Develop industry’s capability to deliver in the skills training and upgrade their employees in
order to improve productivity and enhance the welfare of employees;
4. Provide leadership and strategic advice to the TVET system on skills development needs and
priorities for those industry sectors covered by the committee;
5. Support the delivery of industry relevant training and/or professional development programs for
TVET teachers;
Specific Tasks
6. Contribute to the development and review of skills standards and qualifications and participate
in the development and review of new training curriculum;
7. Advise key government TVET agencies on the industry sector demand for skills;
11. Develop partnerships with TVET providers and support improvement of TVET programs in
schools, colleges, industry and enterprises.
Membership:
It is envisaged that each committee will involve between 8-12 members, depending on the
structure of the industry and the representative bodies that exist in each sector.
It is expected that membership will be drawn from individual enterprises, representing large and
small enterprises, industry associations and union bodies. Membership of committees will be
decided by project staff in consultation with industry representatives. It is envisaged that
membership of the committee will initially be for 12 months at which time a review of the
committees will be undertaken.
33
Bangladesh Technical Education Board
National Certificate in Machine Shop Practice (NTVQF Level 1)
Version 1.0
Committees will be encouraged to co-opt additional members as they see fit and/or invite key
stakeholders to participate in meetings as observers. Government will not be represented on
committees. Membership of each Industry Skill Committee will include seats for the Federation of
Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FBCCI) and the Bangladesh Employers
Federation (BEF). This will ensure close and ongoing dialogue between committee members and
the FBBCI and BEF representatives on the TVET Reform Project Steering Committee.
Selection of Chairperson:
The selection of committee Chairperson and Deputy-Chairperson will occur at the first meeting of
each committee. ILO project staff will open the first meeting and call for nominations. A vote will be
taken if more than one nomination is received. If the vote is tied, discussions will be held out of
session with members to resolve the impasse. The ILO will not vote on the selection of committee
Chairperson or Deputy-Chairperson.
Meetings:
It is envisaged that meetings will initially occur every month in the first instance with an ongoing
commitment to be determined by the members in consultation with project staff.
Sub-Committees:
It is envisaged that the Industry Skill Committees will establish sub-committees as required. Sub-
committees may be established, for example, to review skills standards for technical accuracy or to
provide input into new curriculum. Membership of these sub-committees will be determined by the
parent committee.
Whilst sitting fees will not be paid, the travel, accommodation and meeting expenses of members
will be covered by project funds. As the committees become operational, contracts may be issued
for the implementation of agreed technical activities. The Industry Skills Committees will be free to
manage any contract funds to ensure that the agreed activities are implemented by competent
professionals. The TVET project team will also provide training to members of the Skills Committee
as well as information resources regarding the agreed activities to be implemented. The project
may also engage local technical specialists in the implementation of agreed activities.
Financial support to the Industry Skills Committees from the government will also be sought by the
TVET Reform project. As Industry Skills Committees develop their capabilities, opportunities will be
examined for raising industry training levies to ensure sustainable financial support for skills
development in economic sectors of Bangladesh.

Background:
A key driver of current efforts to reform technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in
Bangladesh is the need to strengthen linkages between industry and the training system. It is
important that industry provides strategic input to government and training providers so industry
skill needs are met and the training system supports ongoing industry development.
The EC-ILO TVET Reform Project is currently working to strengthen the TVET system in
Bangladesh through a wide range of activities. These include initiatives to improve productivity
through skills development by improving the quality and relevance of training for priority skilled
occupations in key industry sectors.
Standards and Curriculum Development Committees (SCDCs) are being established by the TVET
Reform Project in twelve occupational areas in four industry sectors, agro-food processing,
transport, leather & leather goods and information technology, to contribute towards the
development of the competency standards and curriculum.
These committees are being established with the full support of a range of stakeholders including
the Bangladesh Technical Education Board (BTEB) and the recently established Industry Skills
Committees (ISCs). Therefore the SCDCs comprising representatives of BTEB, ISCs and the
technical vocational education and training agencies will strengthen tripartite communication,
cooperationand development of TVET.
In Bangladesh, skills are increasingly recognised by government, industry and donors as crucial for
poverty reduction and the nation’s continued development. The SCDCs will make a significant and
ongoing contribution towards skills development in Bangladesh by developing locally relevant and
internationally credible competency standards and curriculum documentation in the respective
occupational areas.
Introduction:
In order to guide formation of these committees and pilot the implementation of competency based
training in Bangladesh, the EC-ILO TVET Reform Project has developed the draft Terms of
Reference (TORs) for the thirteen committees. It is envisaged that the TORs will be discussed with
the key stakeholders and endorsed by BTEB.
The establishment and operation of the SCDCs is a key step in ensuring that the TVET training
providers, ISCs and BTEB work together at various levels to successfully implement the National
Technical and Vocational Training Framework (NTVQF) using the competency based training
approach and enhance the quality and relevance of the technical and vocational education and
training in Bangladesh.
To ensure the effective operation of the committees, BTEB, with support from the TVET Reform
Project, will invite specialists from industry and key technical and vocational training agencies.
Members will have a high level of commitment to personal professional and national development
and collectively have competencies in the specific occupational areas expertise in curriculum

development, and technical documentation editing. The members of the committee will also have
adequate English literacy to interpret internationally available relevant documentation.
Terms of Reference:
The TORs have been developed to guide the initial operation of the SCDCs.
SCDCs will
12. Provide specialist advice on competency standards and curriculum documentation to the
relevant Industry Skills Committee (ISC) and BTEB, based on current needs and potential
future demands.
13. Draft the details of each Unit of Competency in the format of the approved template for Unit of
Competency under the titles identified for the occupation, for endorsement by the relevant ISC
and approval by BTEB.
14. Draft curriculum documentation for the national qualifications in the respective occupation for
approval by BTEB.
15. Regularly report to the agency employing or engaging them (e.g. BTEB, ISC, DTE, BMET,
TVET institution) on the achievements and/or challenges of the Standards and Curriculum
Development Committee (SCDC).
16. Provide timely advice and feedback on any quality related issue in the implementation NTVQF
to BTEB, for timely and appropriate actions and effective communication to the affected
stakeholders.
17. Serve as a link between the relevant ISC, TVET training agencies and BTEBandthereby
improvethe cooperation between the industry, TVET training providers,and the quality
assurance agency.
18. Continually participate in the review processes of the competency standards and curriculum
documentation for the national qualifications to ensure that the competency standards and the
curriculum documentation remain current.
19. Contribute towards successful implementation of locally relevant and internationally credible
competency based training in Bangladeshthrough a good understanding of global best
practices in competency based training.
Membership:
The committee will comprise normally seven members including three representatives from TVET
institutions nominated by the agencies responsible for technical vocational education and training
and quality assurance (e.g. DTE, BMET, BTEB), three industry representatives nominated by the
relevant ISC, and one representative from a private training establishment nominated by the
Chairman, BTEB in consultation with appropriate stakeholders. If in a particular occupation an
agency does not have a suitable institution, a national specialist may be considered (e.g.
nominated by a professional/registration/industry/quality assurance body). In exceptional cases
where specific expertise is required, one or more additional members may be co-opted as
necessary.
The members of the committee must be willing and able to meet the considerable personal time
demand expected in this assignment in an ongoing fashion in the interest of personal and national
development.
42
Bangladesh Technical Education Board
National Certificate in Machine Shop Practice (NTVQF Level 1)
Version 1.0
A specialist in the occupation nominated by the ISC, who is keen on learning international best
practices and provide leadership and support to the rest of the team in the SCDC, will be appointed
as a consultant on a fixed term contract to get the draft papers ready for the workshop, under the
condition that the specialist will serve in the SCDC. The international expert and the Programme
Officer for Component 2 of the TVET Reform Project will provide the necessary advice to the
specialist consultant at mutually agreed times.
The membership will be confirmed by the TVET Reform Project staff in consultation with
Bangladesh Technical Education Board.
It is expected that the final editing and fine-tuning to produce a document of professional quality,
which is ready for printing will be done by a specialist in technical editing with adequate knowledge
of the occupational area, on a fixed term contract.
It is envisaged that the committee will initially meet for 3 to 5 weeks during weekends to complete
the competency standards and curriculum documentation for the relevant national qualifications
identified in the TVET project plan.
The Chairperson:
The SCDCs are established by BTEB but chaired by an industry representative nominated by the
relevant ISC.
Meetings:
It is envisaged that meetings will initially occur every week in the first instance with an ongoing
commitment as necessary to complete the competency standards and curriculum development in
the specific occupation. It is expected that the members of the committee will be required to make
additional commitment of their time beyond the scheduled meeting times.
In the future the SCDC will be convened periodically by BTEB, for the review of standards and
curriculum documentation to keep those standards and resources current.
Quorum:
It is expected that all members will attend the meetings. Whenever that is not possible a quorum of
4 is allowed, provided the three key stakeholders - the industry, training providers, and quality
assurance body - are represented.
Whilst a fee of BDT 2000 per day and transport allowance will be paid for the development of the
standards and curriculum documentation undertaken by the committee during the weekends, it is
expected that individual members will spend their own time for ensuring successful outcomes of
the SCDC deliberations. It is expected that the technical, financial and operational support
provided by the EC-ILO TVET Reform Project will be sustained by the BTEB after the Project. It is
also expected that there are adequate number of appropriate members within the Dhaka city to
participate in these pioneering committees. If not, those who can easily travel from outside
DhakaCity will be considered.
The endorsement by the ISC and approval by BTEB will serve as the validation process for these
documents. If necessary, ISC/BTEB may consider seeking specialist advice before
endorsing/approving the documentation submitted by the SCDC.
43
Bangladesh Technical Education Board

Version 1.0
The Process:
The process will be piloted with one committee starting in the first week and the lessons learnt will
be used to address any potential problems before the next six committees start their work
simultaneously in the following week. The remaining six committees will commence work as soon
as the committees which started earlier complete their assignment. The process will be reviewed
after the completion of these trials.
The Responsibility:
The Chairperson of BTEB will have the overall responsibility for the organization and success
SCDCs. The ISCs will nominate the Chairperson of the relevant SCDCs. The Director
(Curriculum) BTEB will be responsible for coordination of the SCDCs processes. The
representatives of DTE, BMET and the Private Training Establishments will be nominated by the
Head of the respective agencies.
All members of the SCDC will actively engage with the SCDC processes to ensure the relevance
and quality of the standards and curricula endorsed by the SCDC.
Sustainability Measures:
It is expected that, on behalf of the people and Government of Bangladesh, BTEB will ensure
smooth functioning of the SCDC by providing appropriate financial and organizational support after
the TVET Reform Project is completed. Appropriate policies and procedures will be established to
ensure long term success of the standards and curriculum development and approval process.
