The importance of having a national policy for vocational |
|
education (called for by the National Advisory Council |
|
for Vocational Education) is the focus of this speech. |
|
After citing and discussing some baseline facts about |
|
vocational education's budget and enrollment figures, the |
|
author provides several reasons for having a national |
|
policy: (1) The scope of responsibility of the vocational |
|
education establishment has never been precisely defined, |
|
(2) vocational education is uniquely vulnerable to attack |
|
from its critics because there is no carefully |
|
articulated policy against which its effectiveness can be |
|
measured, and (3) the need to strengthen the tradition of |
|
local control and adaptability with a clear and |
|
comprehensive policy which defines goals precisely so |
|
that individual institutions and subsystems can pursue |
|
them confidently and systematically. The author also |
|
discusses major points from the papers delivered at the |
|
vocational education Bicentennial Conference in |
|
Minneapolis, Minnesota, such as the work ethic, reshaping |
|
employers' approaches to the definition of work, |
|
harmonizing vocational educational policy with policy on |
|
other related areas, and the need for knowledge of the |
|
labor force. Concluding statements cover the author's |
|
ideas about the direction which a national policy should |
|
take. (HD) |
