Changing Vocational Education and Training - An International Comparative Perspective (Paperback)

Policies for vocational education vary greatly from nation to nation, but one thing remains clear throughout: such policies reflect aspirations and achievements in economic growth, as well as concern over the quality and supply of labor. This book uses the findings of an international seminar held in 1996 to explore how the principles of stakeholding, consensus, participation and democracy have been implicated in the development of vocational education policies and programs. The contributors to this volume provide case studies of policies and processes that have successfully coordinated the efforts and interests of state, industry and individual in seven different nations. "Changing Vocational Education and Training" is a timely collection of the latest theory, research and practice in vocational education, and will be essential reading for policy-makers, practitioners and academics.
