Abstract

This article examines the causes and consequences of the increasing control of English education and training (E&T) by central government and its agencies. It poses three questions?what are the reasons for national government becoming the dominant player in this area of policy, why is the English system so statist in design and operation, and what factors underlie the continuity of this trend in policy over the last quarter of a century? In seeking answers, it argues that policy has become caught ...

Abstract

In the past decade employers, market and private sector influences have had a marked impact on vocational education and training (VET) policy. This article critically examines the effect of such impact on the relationship between employers, state and education in England. It is argued that largely unfettered de?regulation practices have gifted employers a ?voice without accountability? that has shifted regulation and responsibility for VET onto the State and education and away from the workplace. The article considers the consequences of this ...
