Routledge Vocational Education in the Nordic Countries Book

Explore the historical evolution of vocational education through this scholarly work from Routledge. As the first of a two-book series, this volume provides systematic knowledge regarding the different models of vocational education and training (VET) found in four Nordic countries. While vocational education in Europe has maintained a level of resistance to standardization compared to other educational fields, this book addresses the growing need for international and comparative VET research. The Nordic countries serve as an ideal case study for comparative education research, yet English-language literature on the subject has historically been limited. This publication helps bridge that gap by offering deep insights into the strengths and weaknesses of regional VET models. It is an essential resource for researchers, educators, and students interested in the comparative study of international education systems.
