Vocational lecturers in Country E are trained within the same policy framework as school 
teachers, although the curricula of the training programmes are substantially different. The 
programme is based on a four-year degree programme, and requires an upper secondary 
school leaving certificate plus at least two years of workplace experience for entry. A full 
year of work-based learning makes up the fourth year of the qualification.

SECTION 6
GOVERNANCE OF ISCED-T
29. 
The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is the custodian of ISCED-T and is responsible for 
the development, maintenance, updating and revision of this reference classification. The 
UIS also provides guidance on the effective and consistent use of ISCED-T for data collection 
and analysis. 
30. 
The UIS aims to maintain links with custodians of other programme classifications relevant 
to teacher training programmes in order to ensure consistency across related standard 
frameworks. 
31. 
An ISCED-T Committee should be formed in order to advise UIS regarding the classification 
of teacher training programmes and qualifications, to review the current version of ISCED-T 
and to identify potential areas for further development. The Committee should consist of 
UNESCO (as lead agency within the UN system of organizations), custodians of other related 
classifications as appropriate, and key education data collection partners, such as OECD 
and Eurostat, as permanent members. The composition of the Committee membership 
should aim to be balanced both technically and geographically, and therefore would include 
in addition a number of teacher educational, statistical and classification experts with 
knowledge of ISCED-T and representing different regions of the world on a non-permanent 
basis as well as representatives from the research and user community.
