Abstract

Internationally, the provision of both vocational education and training (VET) and academic subjects has been one strategy designed to meet the broader challenges and demands of schooling. It is estimated that around 120 countries provide some form of technical or vocational secondary education, as distinct from a purely generalist curriculum.
