Education for Industry
Edgley, Roy
Educational Research, 20, 1, 26-32, Nov 77
The combination of expanding education with contracting skill at work produces employees who are more educated than their jobs require, and who are less efficient because more dissatisfied. In this situation, the demand for a more educated workforce is in fact a demand for more discipline in the subordinate ranks of industry's political hierarchy Advises education to establish "closer links" with industry.
