"Girls and young women in poor
societies are often deprived of various learning and income-earning
opportunities that could improve their social status and living conditions.
Vocational skills training is considered to be an effective way to help empower
such marginalized populations. Yet, existing technical and vocational education
institutions often do not cater to the needs of those girls and women with
limited basic educational qualifications. UNESCO launched its regional
'Technology-Based Training for Marginalized Girls' Project to challenge
gender-biased perceptions of technical and vocational training and to develop
integrated training approaches using formal and non-formal education that would
contribute to national poverty alleviation efforts. This publication is an
outcome of the pilot experiences in Indonesia."
