ABSTRACT
The population of the world is increasing at an alarming rate and more and more people are demanding education as their inalienable right. To support this increasing population, economies have to be strengthened and this process is dependent to a large extent upon efficient industrial training. Industrial training naturally forms part of the tertiary stage in the British educational system and must be fully integrated with it. The primary, secondary and tertiary stages of education can be viewed as being built around a ‘ common core ’ of the knowledge, skills, techniques and attitudes necessary to the preservation of our cultural and economic life. The problem is, how can we achieve this without letting students become, increasingly, merely passive participants in the training process.
