1. RAVTE abstract
• The ASEAN integration process in general and the upcoming AEC in 2015 in particular will require a
higher efficiency and a quality breakthrough in the TVET sector. TVET is called upon to meet the social
and economic demand of the emerging societies in the ASEAN region. Those requirements are not
achievable neither on regional nor on national level without a high performing vocational teacher
education system.
• The newly founded “Regional Association for Vocational Teacher Education in Asia” (RAVTE) is one
important answer to this challenging development with the focus to meet the needs of integration and
cooperation in the TVET sector in Asia.
• RAVTE is the succeeding, independent and exclusive body resulting from the former "Regional
Cooperation Platform for Vocational Teacher Education in Asia (RCP)", a German funded regional project
of the "Federal Ministry for lnternational Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
