Learning for Jobs for OECD Member Countries, High-Level Workplace Skills Are Considered a Key Means of Supporting Economic Growth Learning for Jobs For OECD member countries, high-level workplace skills are considered a key means of supporting economic growth. Systems of vocational education and training (VET) are now under intensive scrutiny to determine if they can deliver the skills required. Learning for Jobs is an OECD study of vocational education and Learning for Jobs training designed to help countries make their VET systems more responsive to labour market needs. It expands the evidence base, identifies a set of policy options and develops tools to appraise VET policy initiatives. OECD is conducting country VET policy reviews in Australia, Austria, Belgium (Flanders), the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Korea, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom (England and Wales) and the United States (South Carolina and Texas). A first report on Chile and a short report on the People’s Republic of China have also been prepared. The initial report of Learning for Jobs is available on the OECD website: www.oecd.org/edu/learningforjobs.

FOREWORD – 3 Foreword Following a severe recession the need to help young people into work is a major objective for OECD countries and their education systems. Vocational education and training for young people can play a big role in meeting this challenge but, as this report makes clear, reforms are needed in many countries. Those graduating from vocational programmes need to be equipped not just with the skills that will get them their first job, but also with the broader capacities for further learning on and off the job that will support career development in a labour market undergoing rapid evolution. To that end, vocational programmes need to be of high quality, with teachers and trainers who understand the needs of modern industry, and linked to clear opportunities for further learning. Workplace learning should play an important role in all vocational programmes. Above all, we need an effective partnership between education and training systems and industry, to provide for workplace training, to ensure that skills have real labour market relevance and that young people gain an early appreciation and understanding of the world of work. This OECD report is linked to 17 individual country studies undertaken across the globe. In this review, and in its successor on postsecondary vocational education and training, to be undertaken in 2011-12, our aim is to exploit the rich diversity of international experience in this field, and thereby help countries to develop their policies. The authors of this report were Simon Field, Kathrin Hoeckel, Viktória Kis and Małgorzata Kuczera. Jennifer Gouby played the key role of preparing the text and steering the report to publication.

  • Can Animal Data Translate to Innovations Necessary for a New
    Green BMC Medical Ethics (2015) 16:53 DOI 10.1186/s12910-015-0043-7 DEBATE Open Access Can animal data translate to innovations necessary for a new era of patient-centred and individualised healthcare? Bias in preclinical animal research Susan Bridgwood Green Abstract Background: The public and healthcare workers have a high expectation of animal research which they perceive as necessary to predict the safety and efficacy of drugs before testing in clinical trials. However, the expectation is not always realised and there is evidence that the research often fails to stand up to scientific scrutiny and its 'predictive value' is either weak or absent. Discussion: Problems with the use of animals as models of humans arise from a variety of biases and systemic failures including: 1) bias and poor practice in research methodology and data analysis; 2) lack of transparency in scientific assessment and regulation of the research; 3) long-term denial of weaknesses in cross-species translation; 4) profit-driven motives overriding patient interests; 5) lack of accountability of expenditure on animal research; 6) reductionist-materialism in science which tends to dictate scientific inquiry and control the direction of funding in biomedical research. Summary: Bias in animal research needs to be addressed before medical research and healthcare decision-making can be more evidence-based. Research funding may be misdirected on studying 'disease mechanisms' in animals that cannot be replicated outside tightly controlled laboratory conditions, and without sufficient critical evaluation animal research may divert attention away from avenues of research that hold promise for human health. The potential for harm to patients and trial volunteers from reliance on biased animal data1 requires measures to improve its conduct, regulation and analysis.

  • Curriculum Reform at Tertiary Level As Key to Graduate Employability and Entrepreneurship in Lesotho
    Journal of US-China Public Administration, June 2017, Vol. 14, No. 6, 339-347 doi: 10.17265/1548-6591/2017.06.005 D DAVID PUBLISHING Curriculum Reform at Tertiary Level as Key to Graduate Employability and Entrepreneurship in Lesotho T. Mukurunge, N. Tlali Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, Maseru, Lesotho The curriculum in Lesotho at tertiary level does not adequately prepare graduates for the employment world, nor for self-made business people. The main emphasis is theoretical and academic excellence rather than for production in industry or for empowerment with entrepreneurial skills. This is a problem because Lesotho does not have an industrial power base for the economy to employ a big number of tertiary graduates. The industries that offer employment to citizens are mainly the Chinese-owned textile industries and taxi/transport industry, or the South African mines and farms which require cheap labour and not tertiary graduates. Lesotho therefore requires an education that produces graduates who can create employment for other primarily or highly skilled technocrats who will be able to be employed above the level of mere labourers in the sophisticated economy of South Africa. This study therefore sought to establish what the Ministry of Education and tertiary institutions are doing about this scenario, whether they have plans for curriculum review that will be aligned towards producing entrepreneurs and technocrats for the economic development of Lesotho. This research will benefit the authorities responsible for development through small businesses, the employment sector, as well as tertiary institutions in curriculum review. Keywords: curriculum, curriculum review, entrepreneurship, tertiary institutions, technocrats Curriculum is a planned and guided learning experiences carried out in the institution for the purpose of living a useful and productive life in our contemporary society today (Ogwu, Omeje, & Nwokenna, 2014, p.

A prospective design was used to determine the relationships and differences among the anatomy and physiology course grade, self-efficacy, linguistic diversity, language acculturation, and components of the National League for Nursing pre-admission exam for registered nurses and first semester nursing course grades of linguistically diverse and native English speaking associate degree nursing students. A relationship exists between the PAX-RN composite score, anatomy mean grade, language diversity, and general self-efficacy score, the Nursing Pharmacology and Nursing Fundamentals course grades for associate degree nursing students. The PAX-RN composite score and the AP mean grade were related to all first semester courses for associate degree students.
