Learning for Jobs is an OECD study of vocational education and training (VET) designed to help countries make their VET systems more responsive to labour market needs.

Since 1989, Hungary has made significant efforts to restructure its VET system and it now has many strengths, including a strong national qualifications framework. But there are significant challenges, including weak links between VET and the labour market, early tracking and multiple selection mechanisms in the school system, and the low status of VET.

The OECD review assesses the main challenges faced by the VET system and presents an interconnected package of policy recommendations. For each recommendation, the report describes the challenge, the recommendation itself, supporting arguments, and issues of implementation.

¿Están los alumnos adecuadamente preparados para enfrentarse a los retos que les depara el futuro? ¿Son capaces de analizar, razonar y comunicar con eficacia sus ideas? ¿Saben ya cuáles serán sus intereses profesionales a lo largo de su vida, como miembros productivos de la economía y la sociedad? El Programa para la Evaluación Internacional de Alumnos (PISA). De la OCDE, pretende aportar algunas respuestas, a través de sus encuestas sobre las competencias clave de los alumnos de 15 años. Cada tres años se realizan las evaluaciones PISA en los países miembros de la OCDE, así como en un grupo de economías y países asociados, que juntos representan casi un 90% de la economía mundial.
Informe PISA: Competencias científicas para el mundo del mañana presenta los resultados de la última evaluación PISA, que se ha centrado en ciencias, pero también ha evaluado las competencias matemáticas y lectoras
El Volumen 2: Datos, presenta toda la información estadística subyacente del análisis publicado en el Volumen 1 en el que se analiza el rendimiento de los estudiantes, centros educativos y países en su contexto social, e identifica importantes políticas y prácticas educativas asociadas al éxito en la educación.
El informe PISA 2006 completa, junto con PISA 2000 y PISA 2003, el primer ciclo de evaluación en las tres materias clave. En la actualidad, PISA está llevando a cabo un segundo ciclo de informes que comenzará en 2009 con la lectura como asignatura principal y continuará en 2012 (matemáticas) y 2015 (ciencias).

Learning for Jobs is an OECD study of vocational education and training (VET) designed to help countries make their VET systems more responsive to labour market needs.

The Australian VET system has many strengths including strong engagement of employers, a well established national qualification system, extensive VET data and research. The system is flexible and allows for a fair degree of local autonomy and experimentation. But at the same time there are a number of challenges, including a lack of clarity and potentially duplication in the respective roles of Commonwealth, states and territories in planning and delivering VET, a lack of clear and simple rules for entitlement to funding, difficulties in providing a reliable foundation in skills forecasts, some gaps in the data base, somewhat complicated and cumbersome training packages and an ageing teacher and trainer workforce.

The OECD review assesses the main challenges faced by the VET system and presents an interconnected package of policy recommendations. For each recommendation, the report describes the challenge, the recommendation itself, supporting arguments, and issues of implementation.

Les changements démographiques déterminent les politiques sociales : la majorité des pays de l’OCDE voient leur population vieillir et comporter plus de migrants et de « minorités ». Au Japon et en Corée, les effectifs étudiants de l’enseignement supérieur ont commencé à baisser, alors qu’ils devraient connaître une forte croissance en Turquie ou au Mexique. À partir de tendances et de projections, cet ouvrage étudie dans le détail toutes ces questions à la fois sur les plans qualitatif et quantitatif. Il examine entre autres l’impact des changements démographiques sur les effectifs étudiants, sur les niveaux d’éducation, sur le personnel enseignant et sur les choix politiques. Il s’intéresse par exemple aux politiques d’accès à l’enseignement supérieur et à leur effet sur la taille et la composition des effectifs, en examinant notamment les cas des étudiants handicapés et des migrants. L’analyse couvre la plupart des pays de l’OCDE et est illustrée par les exemples spécifiques de la Corée, de la France, des États-Unis et du Japon.
Ce volume est le premier de la série L’enseignement supérieur à l’horizon 2030 qui analyse de manière prospective l’impact des différentes tendances actuelles sur l’enseignement supérieur. Les deux volumes suivants observeront les effets de la technologie et de la mondialisation, et le quatrième présentera des scénarios sur l’avenir de l’enseignement supérieur.

Demographic changes increasingly shape social policies as most OECD populations are ageing and include more migrants and “minorities”. Japan and Korea have already started to see their enrolments in tertiary education decline, but other countries like Turkey and Mexico can still expect a boom. Drawing on trend data and projections, this book takes an in-depth look at these important questions from both a qualitative and quantitative standpoint. Issues covered include the impact of demographic changes on student enrolment, educational attainment, academic staff and policy choices. Particular attention is given to how access policies determine the demographics of tertiary education, notably by examining access to higher education for disabled and migrant students. The book covers most OECD countries, illustrating the analysis with specific examples from France, Japan, Korea and the United States. This book is the first volume in the Higher Education to 2030 series, which takes a forward-looking approach to analysing the impact of various contemporary trends on tertiary education systems. Two further volumes will examine the effects of technology and globalisation, and a fourth will present scenarios for the future of higher education systems.

Encouraging Student Interest in Science and Technology Studies examines overall trends in higher education enrolments and the evolution of S&T compared with other disciplines. The results suggest that although absolute numbers of S&T students have been rising as access to higher levels of education expands in OECD economies, the relative share of S&T students among the overall student population has been falling, The report shows that encouraging interest in S&T studies requires action to tackle a host of issues inside and outside the education system, ranging from teacher training and curriculum design to improving the image of S&T careers. Numerous examples of national initiatives are used to complement the analyses to derive a set of practical recommendations.

OECD economies have experienced the transformation from their traditional industrial base to the knowledge era, in which learning and innovation are central. Yet, many of today’s schools have not caught up: they continue to operate as they did in the earlier decades of the 20 century. This book summarises and discusses key findings from the learning sciences, shedding light on the cognitive and social processes that can be used to redesign classrooms to make them highly effective learning environments. It explores concrete examples in OECD countries, from alternative schools to specific cases in Mexico, in which the actors are seeking to break the mould and realise the principles emerging from learning science research. The book also asks how these insights can inspire educational reform for the knowledge era, in which optimising learning is the driving aim and in which innovation is both the widespread catalyst of change and the defining result.

Learning for Jobs is an OECD study of vocational education and training (VET) designed to help countries make their VET systems more responsive to labour market needs.

The Norwegian VET system has many strengths including strong and trustful co-operation between employers, unions and VET authorities and high-status VET tracks in upper secondary education. Many employers are keen to attract apprentices and there is a high level of adult literacy. But there are significant challenges, including an ageing workforce of school-based trainers, weak quality assurance mechanisms, high levels of dropout and concerns that the priority accorded to student choice may make the system unresponsive to labour market needs.

The OECD review assesses the main challenges faced by the VET system and presents an interconnected package of policy recommendations. For each recommendation, the report describes the challenge, the recommendation itself, supporting arguments, and issues of implementation.

Value-added estimates are a significant improvement upon measures of school performance currently used in most education systems across OECD countries. They provide a fundamentally more accurate and valuable quantitative basis for school improvement planning, policy development and for enacting effective school accountability arrangements. This groundbreaking report provides examples of best practices in value-added modeling for measuring school performance.

Stimulating innovative and growth-oriented entrepreneurship is a key economic and societal challenge to which universities and colleges have much to contribute. This book examines the role that higher education institutions are currently playing through teaching entrepreneurship and transferring knowledge and innovation to enterprises and discusses how they should develop this role in the future. The key issues, approaches and trends are analysed and compared across a range of countries, from the experiences of the most entrepreneurial universities in North America to advanced European models and emerging practices in Central and Eastern Europe.

It is clear that entrepreneurship engagement is a rapidly expanding and evolving aspect of higher education that requires proper support and development. The book stresses the need to expand existing entrepreneurship efforts and introduce more creative and effective approaches, building on the best practices highlighted from around the world. It will provide inspiration for those in higher education seeking to expand and improve their entrepreneurship teaching and knowledge-transfer activities, and for policy makers who wish to provide appropriate support initiatives and frameworks.
