"Schools and Work traces the development of vocational and technical education in France since the late nineteenth century, detailing its history and situating it in the broader context of educational development and economic modernization. Charles Day analyses the changes in industrial technology as well as the rise and decline of Fordism and Taylorism and their replacement by new techniques of flexible specialization and lean production. He demonstrates that, confronted with the challenges of globalization, increased competition, and deindustrialization, state and industry have been forced to redefine skill requirements, reform schools and programs, and establish new forms of cooperation, notably in creating work-study, continuing education, and apprenticeship programs like those available in Germany and other European countries."--Jacket
