> Technical and Vocational Education and Training for the Twenty-first Century
>
> This is a sweeping and ambitious document, and which I can (and will) quibble with the details, I am in general support of its overall ambitions and direction. No nation should form a vocational education strategy without consulting this document. This is a revised version of an earlier document. A flavour: "The challenges facing technical and vocational education in the twenty-first
> century demand learner-centred innovative and flexible
> approaches including a reoriented curriculum to take
> account of new subjects and issues such as technology, the
> environment, foreign languages and cultures,
> entrepreneurship and the requirements of rapidly growing
> service industries. Theory and practice should form an
> integrated whole and be presented in a manner that
> motivates the learners. Experience in the laboratory,
> workshop and/or enterprises should be linked to
> mathematical and scientific foundations,
> and conversely, technical theory, as well as the
> mathematics and science underlying it, should be
> illustrated through their practical applications." By Sir
> John Daniel, UNESCO and ILO, June, 2002
