Vocational Education and Training Reform in Scotland: Towards a Strategic Approach?
Fairley, John
Scottish Educational Review, v28 n1 p50-60 May 1996
Traces policy trends in Scottish vocational education and training (VET) over the past 20 years. Describes the current institutional framework for VET, which focuses on employer-oriented "local enterprise companies." Suggests that the complexity and decentralization of the VET system impedes evolution of a coherent VET strategy and that employer control and "output"-based budgeting undermine educational equity.
