Routledge Research in Vocational Education
Content:
This book explains how education policies offering improved transitions to work and higher-level study can widen the gaps between successful and disadvantaged groups of young people. Centred on an original study of ongoing further education and apprenticeship reforms in England, the book traces the emergence of distinctive patterns of transition that magnify existing societal inequalities. It illustrates the distinction between mainly male ⁰́₈technical elites⁰́₉ on STEM-based courses and the preparation for low-level service roles described as ⁰́₈welfare vocationalism⁰́₉, whilst digital and creative fields ill-suited to industry learning head for a ⁰́₈new economy precariat⁰́₉. Yet the authors argue that social justice can nevertheless be advanced in the spaces between learning and work. The book provides essential insights for academics and postgraduate students researching technical, vocational and higher education. It will also appeal to professionals with interests in contemporary educational policy and emerging practice.
