ABSTRACT
Principal among the foundations for productive working life in both individual and social terms is a country’s national educational and training system. That system typically embraces large and complex sub-systems for policy-making, financing, resourcing and operating schools, training centres, colleges and higher education institutions in both the public and private sectors. The personnel complements are large and varied; in one way or another, practically the whole of society is involved or connected with some form of institutionalised education.
