QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING

In this work I discuss the general topic of educational management and particulary about Technical and Vocational Education and Training which is often seen as "last choice education" because of a lack of quality. High-quality Technical and Vocational Education and Training, on the other hand, leads to a higher status and improved attractiveness of Technical and Vocational Education and Training. Therefore the standards of Quality Assurance and Quality Control should be applied to Technical and Vocational Education and Training. That can be done by seeking a certification from a standardization organisation or by adopting quality assurance management mechanism to ensure quality of training.
