Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Restructuring an education system provides an opportunity to select appropriate programmes for schooling.

History and past programmes in developed and developing countries have provided a comparison of examples where successful elements and problems have been associated with acceptance of vocational education.

The United States of America, Britain and Australia have begun an integration of general and vocational subjects to improve cross-disciplinary relationships of subjects to students. Transnational transfer of programmes …
