GOVI

The Governance Index (GOVI) is a tool that looks at key aspects of the governance of education systems with a specific focus on VET. It can assess governance across key dimensions like system permeability, system updating and management, financing and incentives, quality assurance, career guidance, and more.
It can also produce information on governance type (fragmented vs. coordinated) and mode (input-oriented vs. output-oriented). We also collect data on the governance network and the relations among actor groups like national and regional governments, employer associations, schools, and firms.

With this information, we can explore the roles and effectiveness of intermediary organizations, identify areas of friction or bottlenecks in the network, and compare the network to similar networks in other contexts.

GOVI chart — Figure 5: Comparison of TVET governance networks in Uzbekistan and Switzerland Notes: Line thickness represents relation load (product of relations’ adjacency and reported intensity), and color is satisfaction according to the scale shown in the bottom-right corner. Relations flow up the chart on the left and down the chart on the right. Vertical order is not a precise representation of hierarchy. Within-group relations are shown as horizontal bars below the name of each actor group. Swiss cantons are regional governments. Image is for reference and context only.
