Can a VET System Evolve Without Looking Abroad? On Policy Transfer and the Extent of Spain-Europe Relations
摘要
Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Spain has three subsystems: formal Initial VET (IVET), non-formal vocational training for young and adult unemployed people and Continuing VET (CVET) for the active occupied population. VET improved through accessing the European Union in 1986. Spain was strongly involved in a modernization process, including VET (Zaunstock et al. 2021). The major reforms happened in IVET in the 1990s, earlier than in other European countries (Stenström and Lasonen 2000), increasing the prestige of VET, its attractiveness offer and enrolment (Martínez-Morales and Marhuenda-Fluixá 2020). Reforms introduced in 2022 intend to unify all three subsystems.
