ABSTRACT
The problems which face the authorities responsible for the provision of vocational training are sufficiently serious and general to have given rise, in all advanced countries, to a body of informed opinion, to experiments and negotiations of which the repercussions are later to be found in legislation at national level and within international organizations. The law controlling vocational training in France, the Training Act in Great Britain, the report of the Tremblay Committee in Canada, the work of the C.E.C.A. (European Coal and Steel Community) or of the O.E.C.D. (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) are all examples of a preoccupation which, although by no means new, has during the last few years undoubtedly increased very much in importance. 1
