Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents statistical information on the vocational education and training systems of 10 countries in Central and Eastern Europe: Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, and Slovenia. These materials precede the body of the report: introduction, guide to reading the report, and definitions. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the educational attainment levels of the population and of the relationship between these and unemployment. Chapter 2 examines the role of vocational education and training in the education systems of the countries concerned. First, the participation of young people in vocational education and training is compared to their participation in general education. Second, recent trends in vocational education and training at the upper secondary level are presented and analyzed. Third, the relative internal effectiveness of vocational education and training systems is assessed by examining dropout rates from vocational education and training courses and from general education courses at the upper secondary level. Fourth, information is provided on the relative levels of expenditure on vocational education and training by countries in Central and Eastern Europe. Both chapters take account of differences in gender and/or age. The basic plan of the report is to alternate comparative illustrations (both graphs and tables) with comments that highlight the essential points. A final chapter summarizes key findings. (YLB)

Task Force Human Resources, Education, Training, and Youth and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report assesses the current situation regarding vocational training in Central and Eastern Europe and suggests projects and working methods that would be consistent with the mission of the Commission of the European Communities' European Training Foundation. Sections 1 through 4 focus on the following: the existing system's inability to train individuals to become instruments of political, economic, and social change and for training workers and to cope with unemployment and economic upheaval resulting from political reform; the necessity of international aid to reform vocational training in Central and Eastern Europe; key issues in global action to define strategies and build a new system in Central and Eastern Europe; and principles and themes that Western countries must observe when sharing their training expertise with Central and Eastern Europe. Chapter 5, which deals with the mission, working program, and methods of the European Training Foundation, proposes that the foundation act as an effective resource center/clearinghouse, use local expertise, and give priority support to integrated projects designed to help establish a vocational training system, support the creation of the instruments/resources needed for a rational training policy, and train vocational policymakers and practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indicators are used in quite different ways in vocational education and training, from control and accountability to performance and quality purposes. A classification model has been proposed in which many indicators can fit. It is based on two important dimensions of indicators: (1) the "message" relating to the information content, meaning, and signification of the indicator and (2) the "purpose" relating to the function and use of the indicator. Four main areas on the scale for the message dimension are as follows: exclusively descriptive, management and policy, performance, and quality. Three areas on the scale for the purpose dimension are indicators used for analysis, used for communication, and with a normative purpose. The two main driving forces for the use of indicators are public authorities and institutions. International and European achievements in the work on quality indicators are illustrated by the following: the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's INES (Indicators of National Education System) project, the Eurostat key data, and the European Training Foundation key indicators on vocational education and training (VET). At the level of VET institutions, a wide range of performance and quality indicators have been developed across Europe in the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Denmark, and Western Australia. The advantages of using quality indicators can be achieved only if 10 conditions---5 design requirements and 5 requirements for processing and use--are met. (Appendixes contain 77 references, design methodology for quality indicators, and glossary.) (YLB)

Download or read book Europe enlarged written by Kogan, Irena and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2008-07-16 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expansion of the European Union (EU) has put an end to the East-West division of Europe. At the same time it has increased the cultural heterogeneity, social disparities and economic imbalances within the EU, exemplified in the lower living standards and higher unemployment rates in some of the new member states. This important new reference work describes the education systems, labour markets and welfare production regimes in the 10 new Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries. In three comparative chapters, discussing each of these domains in turn, the editors provide a set of theory-driven, comprehensive and informative indicators that allow comparisons and rankings within the new EU member states. Ten country-specific chapters follow, each written by experts from those countries: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. These chapters provide detailed information on each country's education and training systems, labour market structure and regulations, and its provision of formal and informal welfare support. An important component of each country chapter is the explanation of the historical background and the specific national conditions for the institutional choices in the transitional years. The handbook provides policy makers with the tools to assess the institutional changes in CEE countries, and scholars with ways to apply the proposed indicators to their analytic research. It will be a vital resource that no major research library should be without.

This book was released on 2010-07-03 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is experiencing an unprecedented phenomenon: breakneck industrialization on a scale and at a pace not seen before. It is trying to achieve in just a few decades what Western nations took more than a century to do. The arrival in the country’s cities of tens of millions of rural dwellers, at most semi-skilled, has put huge strain on the country’s system of vocational education, known as TVET. How have the Chinese authorities and their education administrators responded? Is China’s TVET system adapting to the rapidly evolving needs of its industry? Using the province of Yunnan as a subject, this detailed case study is a closely argued and sanguine analysis of the operation of TVET in China. The authors deployed a set of internationally comparable criteria to offer a searching assessment of current performance, at the same time documenting areas of strength and weakness. The question the authors’ methodology answers is how well China’s TVET system is performing compared to technical and vocational education structures in other countries. In fact, they discover that in Yunnan, a province representative of the challenges faced nationwide, much has indeed been done, from a wholesale overhaul of programs to make them relevant to industry requirements, to major investment in infrastructure. Teacher training has been reformed, and take-up of professional master’s and doctoral courses has been encouraged. Joint initiatives with bodies such as UNESCO have improved training and vocational education at high school level. While there is a strong international history of such comparative evaluations, which are essential for policy makers to benchmark their administration, few studies have included China despite the enormous amount of value that can be learned from that country’s experience. This work will provide vital material for researchers, governments and development agencies alike.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vocational education and training (VET) in 10 Central and Eastern European countries--Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic, and Slovenia--was examined. The analysis focused on the following issues: socioeconomic context of VET reforms; VET at the start of reforms; the European Union Phare program and its support of VET reform in 1990-1998; changes in VET legislation and policies; changes in VET administration and financing; involvement of social partners; anticipation of skill needs and vocational standards; curricular reforms; teacher and trainer education; higher VET and professional education; continuing education; and challenges for VET in the transition context. It was concluded that, in countries in transition to a market economy and democratic society, VET must perform the following remedial, adaptive, and proactive roles: underpin and motivate the economic and social transformation process; prevent and combat the social exclusion of people disadvantaged in the labor market; and cope with constant technological changes and labor market uncertainty. VET policies in Central and Eastern Europe must be aimed at reaching macroeconomic stability, containing costs and mobilizing additional financial resources for education and training, promoting educational choices, and improving incentives and introducing competition among providers of education and training.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vocational education often is ignored during discussions of secondary education reform even though it accounts for between 25 percent and 79 percent of upper secondary enrollment in the former centrally-planned countries of the European Union. Based on information, data, and feedback from most of these countries, this paper develops a set of propositions about vocational education reform, not with a view to prescribing a detailed "one-size-fits-all" strategy, but rather it derives some principles that continued reform of vocational education could take into account, to the benefit of fiscal ef.
