Personal and Social Development in Post-compulsory Education in the UK and Mexico.
Martin, Christopher
Compare, v26 n2 p133-51 Jun 1996
Compares the role of post-compulsory technical education in less developed countries and in developed market economies. Argues that England, by displacing education with skill accreditation, has turned the student into an object of economic policy. Mexico remains focused on a crude program designed to "modernize" the "ignorant" poor. (MJP)
