Abstract
Far East currently stands out because of its indicators of efficiency and value in education according to international institutions like the Organization for the Cooperation and the Economic Development. This article describes the main characteristics of some of the vocational education and training (VET) systems developed in the Far East, with the aim of analyzing them comparatively. In particular, the cases of China, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan are described and analysed as relevant examples of this geographic area when analyzing their educational systems, and more specifically their VET systems. Therefore, we aim to contribute in improving the knowledge on the VET systems of this geographic area and in analyzing their impact on the formation and training of the workforce, in order to extract lessons that could also be applied to improve our educational system.
