Vocationalising Education: a Potentially Promising Experiment.

      Аннотация: The last few years have been exciting years and a number of new developments have been witnessed in the field of higher education. Hence the present study to attempt a review of the scheme of vocationalisation at first year undergraduate level was undertaken. The results of our empirical study show a mixed picture of the vocational courses as the situation exists today.It is evident that the progress of vocational education programme has been very slow. There are many issues and problems responsible for slow progress. These are related to curriculum, training methods, faculty, funds, availability of resources and labour market outcomes.It is hoped that this will serve as a practical guide on continuous debate on vocationalisation of education. The present volume will be very useful to economists and other social scientists and educational administrators.
