Routledge - The Vocational Quest: New Directions in Education

The Vocational Quest: New Directions in Education and Training offers a deep look into how government attempts to create national vocational systems have shifted educational policy. As the relationship between schools and the working world changes, this book examines the changing concepts of what education is intended to achieve. Readers will explore how the implementation of vocationalism has blurred the traditional lines between concept-based education and skill-based training. This text addresses the modern challenge of defining how schools can prepare young people for life in a rapidly evolving working world. It is a necessary resource for understanding the foundations of the market economy and the evolving landscape of modern training and educational theory.
