I went to a disucssion this mroning on trends and particpation in VET. A little strange - there was general agreement that despite all the rhetoric about the importance of vocational education and training the trend is still away from VET.
VET remains seen as a second best, for thos ewho have falied to get into university. And in some countries, like the UK, employers are happy to employ unqualified young people if they can pay them less.
The present session is asympoium on the Maastrucht study into a European Qualifications Framework. Tom Leeny from QCA is speaking. He has pointed out the lack of investment in VET.
More on this later.
