Making sense of vocational education policies: A comparative assessment

Abstract

This paper begins by describing the nature of problems encountered by the present system of providing 'vocational' education to the youth in India. It then proceeds to describe the vocational education in place in Germany and Japan in particular, and the contrasting experience of South Korea to some extent in order to, inter alia, emphasise the range of institutions that need to be created, and the depths of coordination needed between seemingly antagonistic players in the field.
