Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the sequential evolution and success stories of Korean TVE (Technical and Vocational Education) policy in order to draw implications for developing Asian countries. We characterize the Korean economic development as an educationled or TVE-led model. In particular, we focus on the sequential evolution of Korean TVE policy during the compressed economic development period as a developmental model of the Korean economy. The Korean TVE system has been constantly adapting and transforming itself to meet the changing demands of the workforce during the industrialization process. Korea’s TVE policy initially evolved in response to successive stages of industrial development, and education and training policies during the past half-century have been designed to meet changing demands in the labor force (industrial development → expansion of education and training). This paper also analyzes some case studies of relevant institutions that are related to TVE and the university-industry cooperative educational network. It concludes with policy suggestions for Asian developing countries based on analyzing the TVE policy trends and successful model institutions.
