Teaching and learning in VET: Providing effective practical training in school-based
settings
The COVID-19 crisis is leading to reductions in work-based learning opportunities
for vocational education and training (VET) students. This policy brief argues that
VET programmes can be adapted to deliver practical components of VET in school-based
settings when there is a persistent shortage of work-based learning opportunities.
It also describes how innovative technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented
reality (AR) and simulators can be utilised to facilitate school-based delivery of
practical learning, but also to improve the effectiveness of face-to-face and online
teaching in VET in the longer‑term.
