{"product_id":"9789814616416","title":"Breakthrough In Vocational And Technical Education, A: The Singapore Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere has been much international effort to improve or transform Vocational and Technical Education (VTE). However, the outcomes often remain elusive. VTE continues to be largely shunned by society as a sector of education for low-achievers and academic failures.A Breakthrough in VTE: The Singapore Story shares the Singapore experience that was made possible through strategic planning, organisational excellence, innovation and ingenuity. It is a compelling story of how the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) began to transform lives and change its image over a period of fifteen years (1992-2007). This book, based on a first-hand CEO account, vividly captures the sort of leadership, policy choices, fundamental principles and capabilities in the journey of transformation. The details of the 'what, when, how and why' are a valuable guide for leaders and practitioners in building quality and sustainable VTE systems which are responsive to social and economic needs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World Scientific \/ Inst Of Policy Studies, S'pore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49789124477168,"sku":"9789814616416","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814616416","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
