ABSTRACT
In South Africa, the process of change, in what in the title of this book is referred to as ‘vocational education and training’, is rooted in the processes of our dramatic, profound and wide-ranging political, social and economic reconstruction. These changes, however, are taking place at an uneven pace. Very intensive processes, leading to policy and legislation, followed by struggles to effect the changes, in terrain that is permeated with deep and passionate feeling and enormous structural and administrative complexities. These realities are part of the legacy of our political, and therefore educational, history.
