The Standing of Vocational Education and the Occupations It Serves

The Standing of Vocational Education and the Occupations It Serves

This book addresses what is, perhaps, the single most important issue for vocational education; its relatively low standing in an era of high aspiration. The work explores the nature, extent and consequences for an educational sector that whilst having an increasingly important role in contemporary societies is seen to be of low standing across both countries with developed and developing economies.
