World Yearbook of Education 1968

First published in 1968, in this World Year Book new ground is broken by concentrating on an aspect and type of education which has been, until recent years, largely ignored by academic educationists. 'The needs of technological and industrializing societies impose the necessity for matching educational output with professional manpower requirements', written in the Introduction to the 1967 volume on 'Educational Planning'. This looks at the education and training provided by enterprises, having regard to the economic and educational histories of the countries concerned, but endeavouring to bear in mind the philosophical and theoretical questions raised. The authors in this 1968 World Year Book of Education show that there are unifying themes in analyses of educational growth in both the developing and industrially advanced nations.
