Abstract

For at least the last decade there has existed a standard, Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)-wide policy discourse, derived from relatively uncomplicated readings of human capital theory. It asserts that skills, learning and knowledge are now key drivers of competitive advantage in an era of globalisation. This line of thinking has been widely absorbed, elaborated, embellished and reiterated within national strategies and policy statements in many developed countries. It has had a particularly strong impact in England, and played a major role in shaping the New Labour government’s thinking on education and training (E&T) policy (see the Leitch Review, 2005, 2006; H M Government, 2009).
