This book is the first that provides a comprehensive overview of
the way countries, education systems and institutions have
responded to the call for an integration of learning for work,
citizenship and sustainability at the Second International
Conference on Technical and Vocational Education which was held in
Seoul in 1999. Discussions on the central theme of the Seoul
Conference - lifelong learning and training for all, a bridge to
the future - led to the conclusion that a new paradigm of both
development and Technical and Vocational Education (TVET) was
needed.
This book showcases the wide range of international initiatives
that have sought to put such exhortations into practice. It
includes: case studies of national TVET policy reforms, reoriented
curricula, sustainable campus management programs, and examples of
innovative approaches to integrating learning in TVET with
on-the-job training and in community service. It also focuses on
the issues and challenges being faced and ways of moving
forward.
Case studies feature initiatives in a wide range of world
regions and countries, and include authors from: UK, Germany,
Finland, Canada, USA, Australia, South Africa, China, Republic of
Korea, India, Pakistan and the Philippines.
