About this ebook

A system of higher-level vocational courses can equip young people and adults with the advanced skills that employers are looking for in modern and dynamic labour markets. In England (United Kingdom), these courses are collectively known as Higher Technical Education (HTE), classified at level 5 in the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED). In recent years, English HTE has struggled with its identity, scope, and esteem, as previous attention brought academic higher education to the masses. This report supports ongoing reform efforts by comparing England's HTE system with successful models in Austria, Canada (Ontario), Denmark, France, and Sweden. It underlines the importance of a coherent educational vision supported by quality governance and strong employer engagement. Flexible and responsive educational programmes delivered by providers with a clear objective on HTE are essential. By learning from these countries, England can create a robust policy framework and foster collaborations to ensure the success of its HTE reforms.
