The Authority of Labour and Vocational Training is responsible for setting the national VET strategy in Libya. The strategy is focused on developing technical education and vocational training to meet the requirements of the country’s labour market and to achieve Libya’s economic development goals.

The strategy concentrates on:

			integrating and co-ordinating technical education and vocational training systems, stages and levels
			developing labour market information systems and identifying available opportunities
			building strategic partnerships with large companies and diverse economic sectors
			promoting the importance of continuing education and training
			setting professional standards and conditions for all jobs and quality standards for the accreditation of VET institutions
			developing the Libyan VET curriculum and training programmes.

The following points are also considered as a working strategy by the Secretariat of Education:

			Education in public sector schools should be continued, compulsory and free for all.
			In order to make relevant decisions, it is vital to develop a database related to training, education, the labour force, population, the labour market and economic activities.
			Diversification of education and training fields is essential to prepare individuals for advanced technical work in the field.
			Private education at different levels should be encouraged, provided the same systems and laws of general education apply.
			Attention should be paid to higher studies, education and pedagogical research.
			Attention should be paid to creating institutions to educate trainees and teachers in scientific and pedagogical subjects.
			The curriculum should be revised and developed, especially the curriculum for primary education and training.
			The curriculum should be realistic, comprehensive and flexible.
			Due attention should be paid to education and vocational training at all levels.
			Education is necessary for teachers and trainers at primary and lower secondary levels.
