{"product_id":"equity-and-access-to-high-skills-through-higher-vocational-education-9783030845049","title":"Equity and Access to High Skills Through Higher Vocational Education","description":"This book explores new and distinctive forms of higher vocational education across the globe, and asks how the sector is changing in response to the demands of the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century. These new forms of education respond to two key policy concerns: an emphasis on high skills as a means to achieve economic competitiveness, and the promise of open access for adults hitherto excluded from higher education. Examining a range of geographic contexts, the editors and contributors aim to address these contexts and highlight various similarities and differences in developments. They locate their analyses within the various political and socio-economic contexts, which can make particular reforms possible and achievable in one context and almost unthinkable in another. Ultimately, the book promotes a critical understanding of evolving provisions of higher vocational education, refusing assumptions that policy borrowing from apparently 'successful' countries offers a straightforward model for others to adopt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11697188\"\u003eElizabeth Knight\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030845049\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030845044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-EDU\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-EDU031000\"\u003eCounseling | Career Development\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-EDU\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-EDU034000\"\u003eEducational Policy \u0026amp; Reform\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Knight\u003c\/b\u003e is a Research Fellow at the Centre for International Research on Education Systems within Victoria University, Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnn-Marie Bathmaker\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Vocational and Higher Education at the University of Birmingham, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGavin Moodie\u003c\/b\u003e is Adjunct Professor at the Department of Leadership, Higher, and Adult Education in the University of Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKevin Orr\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Work and Learning and Associate Dean (Teaching and Learning) at the University of Huddersfield, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Webb\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Education at Monash University, Australia and was previously Professor of Continuing Education at the University of Sheffield, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeesa Wheelahan is the William G.
