Vocationalism and the Japanese Educational System.
McCormick, Kevin
Comparative Education, v24 n1 p37-51 1988
Suggests that the Japanese educational system's lack of concern about vocationalism is related to low unemployment, lifetime employment patterns, and popular perceptions that the system produces literate students and rewards traditional Japanese values. Outlines academic and vocational elements in the formal education system. Includes 40 references. (SV)
