But the action is in the
AEC now..
Challenge: How TESDA/TECHNICAL EDUCATION
can be relevant in the AEC…
(ASEAN Economic Community)
Single Market and
Production Base Competitive

Equitable Economic
Development
Integration into the
Global Economy
The Four Pillars of AEC
Free Flow of Skilled Labor
In facilitating the free flow of services (by 2015),
ASEAN is also working towards harmonization and
standardization, with a view to facilitate their
movement within the region.
Action:
i. Develop core competencies and qualifications for
job/occupational and trainers skills required in the
priority services sectors (by 2009); and in other
services sectors (from 2010 to 2015); and
ii. Strengthen the research capabilities of each
ASEAN Member Country in terms of promoting
skills, job placements, and developing labor
market information networks among ASEAN
Member Countries.
• AEC will make the Philippines a more attractive location
for ASEAN and non-ASEAN FDIs (foreign direct
investments)
Scenarios
• Implications:
– To absorb FDI: greater demand for skill upgrading
– Need to increase efficiency
– Virtuous cycle
• Greater mobility of people
Scenarios
• Key to mobility: proof of qualification
– Influence the MUTUAL RECOGNITION ARRANGEMENTS
(MRAs) to sectors (e.g. tourism professionals)
– Partner with chambers to advocate for MRA: construction,
tourism
– Perform key role in regional standard or accreditation setting
for skills - become a player in accreditation process -
common certification becomes important –
– Advocacy: with chambers, sectors where Philippine ‘labor’ has advantage
Implications
Listen to Industry (industry signals)
- Database
- Skills Mapping
Alignment of the TESDA Mindset to make the curriculum current
21st Century Skills
Trainers must be competent.
The following must be at par with the standards set by the ASEAN
Registered programs
Training Delivery
Assessment and Certification
Monitoring and evaluation
Number of assessed and certified
Ratio of Number of Graduates/employment rate
Programs for tourism, construction, logistics
Work values
Challenges to National Competitiveness
The ASEAN MRA for Tourism Professionals was signed by the
member-states of the ASEAN on January 6, 2009 in Hanoi, Vietnam
and its implementation was signed last November 9, 2012 in Thailand.
Mutual Recognition
Arrangements
(MRA)
These are arrangements between two or more parties to
mutually recognize or accept some or all aspects of one
another’s conformity with assessment results.
(in our case, tourism certificates and qualifications)
Benefits
of MRAs
Free flow of trade
Market access
Competition and innovation
Reduced compliance costs
Good practice and cooperation
Discipline in standards
ASEAN MRA on TOURISM
PROFESSIONALS
Is a significant component in the ASEAN Economic
Community Integration by 2015, which will enable
the mobility of employment for skilled tourism labor
within the region.
The significant element to this arrangement is the
recognition of skills and qualifications of working
tourism professionals from different ASEAN
countries
ASEAN Common Competency
Standards for Tourism Professionals (ACCSTP)
with the
Common ASEAN Tourism Curriculum (CATC)
ASEAN Tourism Qualifications
Equivalency Matrix (ATQEM)
These are set of qualification and competencies agreed upon
by the member countries.
