Skills Strategy Implementation Guidance for Portugal
OECD,
May 17, 2018
Portugal is a compelling case study for educational development. It's inside Europe and benefits from EU membership. But it faces employment challenges and comparatively low levels of education. This report builds on previous 'diagnostic' studies (pictured) and focuses on what the OECD believes Portugal should do. Some of the recommendations make sense: promote community learning centres, increase the availability of educational opportunities, and especially promote the value of learning to the population at large. There's also an emphasis on measurement and quality control. OECD also recommends incentives be offered to employers, especially small and medium sized enterprises (SME) to support learning. My concern is that businesses would simply take the money but not spend it on learning. Excellent coverage of the issues, lots of international examples, and tons of references (most with links). There doesn't appear to be a way to download the report as a whole; it's presented as 190 page-sized images; I found a PDF link (190 page PDF) but maybe it will work for you, maybe it won't.
