Seb Schmoller links to this publication from Becta describing the series of policy seminars that will be held by the organization. The process asks, "What are learner needs" and "what are employer needs" before asking how the system will need to change. What I wonder is, why do employers get a special crack at this? Many people - and not just employers - have a stake in the outcome of the educational services: police, who have to maintain order; medical professionals, who have to see to their health; service clubs and NGOs, who depend on them for funding and volunteer support; and more - the list goes on. So long as we see education as being driven by "employer needs" we will continue to make mistakes in its implementation.
