European standards of vocational education
Andrzej Świątkowski
Abstract
The European Committee of Social Rights case law reaffirmed the great importance it is attached to vocational education which is essential not only integrating all people, young and old, into working life. The vocational education plays a central role in every aspect of personal development and social integration. Fundamental socio-economic trends such as ongoing globalisation and digitalization of the economy and the spread of information technology make it increasingly obvious that vocational education and training is live long process. Education, general and vocational, as well as professional training should be provided throughout the life cycle for all segments of the active population – young persons and adults, the unskilled and the skilled, the employed and unemployed. Investment in vocational education by the European Members States is quite substantial but in the view of the formidable challenges of the learning society there is still scope for further measures.
