Abstract

There is a widespread belief, reflected in the above quotations, that training is the key to achieving major improvements in the productivity and competitiveness of British enterprises and that, in terms of national economies, high skills and high wages are linked in a virtuous circle of cause and effect. As a result of the widespread acceptance of this belief, the last decade has witnessed increasing attention being paid to improving Britain’s overall levels of provision of vocational education and training (VET). Indeed, in a recent report the CBI suggested that in view of the progress made in this area by our major overseas competitors, ‘nothing short of a revolution — in expectations, standards, responsiveness and delivery of education and training will suffice’ (1989, p. 10).
