The Transition From Education To Work In Australia Compared To Selected Oecd Countries, Phil Mckenzie
The Transition From Education To Work In Australia Compared To Selected Oecd Countries, Phil Mckenzie
Dr Phillip McKenzie
This paper attempts to provide an international perspective on young people's transition from education to work in Australia. It draws on the Organisation for Economic Co- operation and Development (OECD) review of the education-to-work transition process in Member countries, on which the author worked from 1996 to mid- 1998. The first part of the paper provides some background on the OECD review. In the second part, transition structures, processes and outcomes are described in comparative terms, and strengths and weaknesses of the Australian approach are discussed.
International Developments In Vocational Pathways: Lessons For Australia, Phil Mckenzie
International Developments In Vocational Pathways: Lessons For Australia, Phil Mckenzie
Dr Phillip McKenzie
This paper attempts to distil lessons from international developments in the transition from education to work for the current debate on VET in schools in Australia. It draws mainly on the OECD's current review of the education-to-work transition process in Member countries. The first part of the paper provides some background on the OECD review. In the second section, key findings from the OECD project are presented and their implications for Australia discussed. The overall conclusion from the OECD review is that improving young people's transition from education to work requires policy coherence across a wide range of policy fronts …

Opening Pathways From Education To Work, Marianne Durand-Drouhin, Phil Mckenzie, Richard Sweet
Opening Pathways From Education To Work, Marianne Durand-Drouhin, Phil Mckenzie, Richard Sweet
Dr Phillip McKenzie
The participation rate in education has been rising in OECD countries in recent years. Yet, on average around a quarter of young people leave school without completing their upper- secondary education. Many of the obstacles young school-leavers face are caused by failure or under- achievement at school. On the principle that prevention is better than cure, the pathways to work and adult life would be improved by aiming government policy first and foremost at reducing failure levels at school. This article explores differences between the experiences of people with low levels of qualifications in different OECD countries.
Thematic Review Of The Transition From Initial Education To Working Life, Phil Mckenzie, Marianne Durand-Drouhin
Thematic Review Of The Transition From Initial Education To Working Life, Phil Mckenzie, Marianne Durand-Drouhin
Dr Phillip McKenzie
The transition to work is "a key stage in laying the basis for continuing progression in learning and work throughout adult life" and "remains a key policy issue" among OECD members. For one thing, training and education—while presenting youth with diverse pathways—often fail to motivate youth, leaving them unsure of how to benefit from such opportunities. Those at greatest risk against the labour market must be taking seriously into account, but the same has to be done with those who have chosen to follow a tertiary education pathway. The transition process is tending to become longer. It is also complex, …

Supporting Youth Pathways, Phil Mckenzie, Marianne Durand-Drouhin, Richard Sweet
Dr Phillip McKenzie
As ever greater value is placed on people's skills, knowledge and attitudes, the demand for learning and relearning over a lifetime is increasing. What are the current patterns of participation in education and other forms of learning, from infancy through adult years? What policy orientations have been adopted by governments to advance lifelong learning? To what extent do existing policies and practices take into account the new ways young people and adults will need to learn and the choices, interests, experiences and circumstances of learners themselves? These are some of the questions addressed in this new edition of Education Policy …

Lifelong Learning And Employability, Phil Mckenzie, Gregory Wurzburg
Lifelong Learning And Employability, Phil Mckenzie, Gregory Wurzburg
Dr Phillip McKenzie
'Lifelong employability' — the capacity to be productive and to hold rewarding jobs over one's working life — is no longer guaranteed by the education and training received in childhoodand youth. The continuous structural changes affecting all OECD economies have increased the importance of up-to-dateskills and competences. Responding to this requirement calls for the development of effective strategies for lifelong learning.

Dr Phillip McKenzie
The paper discusses (i) evidence on the importance of human capital and lifelong learning for labour market outcomes; (ii) the barriers to lifelong learning that can arise in the transition from initial education to work; (iii) major features of the situation of poorly qualified adults and the barriers to lifelong learning that they face; and (iv) the role that Labour Ministers and labour market policies can play in facilitating lifelong learning.
Curriculum Provision In Rural Secondary Schools, Phil Mckenzie, Ross Harrold, Andrew Sturman
Curriculum Provision In Rural Secondary Schools, Phil Mckenzie, Ross Harrold, Andrew Sturman
Dr Phillip McKenzie
This book investigates various views, including those that say students in rural secondary schools are disadvantaged by comparison with urban students, and that rural and remote schools are excessively expensive to operate. Using qualitative materials derived from case studies of schools in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, together with qualitative analyses of recent, detailed information collected by schools, the authors provide evidence that rural and remote schools provide a curriculum directly comparable with urban schools, and that students (regardless of differences of gender or social grouping) are better served in the quality of their educational experience than many have …

Review Of Statistical Data For Research On Vocational Education And Training, Gerald Burke, Phil Mckenzie, Aija Grauze
Review Of Statistical Data For Research On Vocational Education And Training, Gerald Burke, Phil Mckenzie, Aija Grauze
Dr Phillip McKenzie
This review was prompted by rapid changes in the vocational education and training (VET) sector, the introduction of new data collections relating to VET, and initiatives to expand and focus research on VET. The Australian National Training Authority Research Advisory Council (ANTARAC) established a working group to examine existing databases and to advise on the data needed to underpin emerging VET research priorities. The review involved consideration of VET policy concerns, the major statistical data collections, a survey of and interviews with researchers who are extensive data users, the data problems in four major research areas, and discussions on developments …
Educational Attainment And Participation In Training, Phil Mckenzie, Mike Long
Educational Attainment And Participation In Training, Phil Mckenzie, Mike Long
Dr Phillip McKenzie
The relationship between prior educational attainment and participation in formal and On-the-Job Training (OJT) in Australia was examined through an analysis of unit record data from the 1993 Survey of Training and Education that was conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Univariate analyses were performed to document employee participation by level of educational attainment in three different types of training activities: external training, in-house training, and OJT. Multivariate analyses were then conducted to separate the effect of educational attainment from other variables (for example, age and occupation) that might affect training participation. Educational attainment was found to have a …
