Education for What?

Introduced by Tessa Blackstone. Takes the form of a discussion, chaired by Dr Tessa Blackstone, on TVEI (Technical and Vocational Initiative), training initiative sponsored by the Manpower Services Commission. Maurice Holt, a former comprehensive school headmaster, argues and defends the view that since we cannot predict the future, we must equip youngsters with the capacity to adapt to the changing world. The Government's emphasis on vocational training in education, he says, is based on preparation for today's jobs. He suggests, and shows film of, alternative ways for schools to help pupils prepare for an uncertain tomorrow. He attacks the concept of TVEI, considering that vocational education can sometimes be irrelevant, while a TVEI project leader defends the concept.
