Core Skills: A Critical Examination.
Tribe, John
Educational Review, v48 n1 p13-27 Feb 1996
Traces the history and philosophy of core skills. Suggests that, although the way they are used in training and vocational education has positively changed the way skills are viewed, the approach is narrow in outlook, especially the General National Vocational Qualifications, and may not serve the best interests of industry or society.
