Change And Intervention: Vocational Education And Training / Edition 1

by Peter Raggatt; Lorna Unwin both of The Open University.

Overview

First published in 1991. The constant changes in both vocational education and training (VET) policy and practice since the early 1970s have been well documented. Some of these changes are a direct result of government intervention in education and training policy, for example TVEI, YTS and the introduction of a competency-based framework for qualifications. This volume brings together some key players and key policies, which are part of the complex structure and presents them for public scrutiny. The editors do not set out to pursue one ideological argument but rather to present a series of different perspectives which, taken together, reveal the massive scale of change and intervention shaping the country's VET infrastructure.
