Three Lectures on Vocational Training (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book expounds on the fundamental principles of continuation schools, examining the role they play in ensuring a country's strength lies not just in its natural resources but in its human capital. The author, an experienced figure in the German continuation school system, discusses the historical context that led to the establishment of these schools, arguing that they are the culmination of a growing realization that education must go beyond primary schooling to meet the demands of industrial society. The book examines the challenges faced by continuation schools, including the need to strike a balance between technical training and general education, the importance of fostering civic responsibility, and the difficulties of securing adequate funding. The author also provides insights into the practical organization of continuation schools, including the use of workshops and laboratories, the importance of close cooperation with employers, and the role of student self-government. The book concludes by emphasizing the crucial role continuation schools play in preparing young people for the workforce and for active citizenship, making it a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in the history and future of vocational education.
