A quality partnership

The Institute of Policy Studies, believing that the various issues and alternatives connected with the transition between education and employment needed to be brought together into one coherent paper, decided to sponsor a project. In it, McQueen provocatively explores the relationship between industry and education, comments about recent developments in both sectors, and suggests necessary changes including reform of School Certificate. With New Zealand's economic recovery at stake, this book argues for more emphasis upon skills during the compulsory years, a post-school training culture and wider access to higher education.
