Author: Mudogo, Ernest N. N., Jones, Adele M.E.
Subject:  Business education|Oceania
Volume: Directions: Journal of Educational Studies no.30, vol.16, no.1, 1994
Collation: p. 31-40 ;

Abstract: The authors look at the issue of unemployment facing Pacific youth today. They note that the previous approaches to resolving short-term unemployment problems are no longer reliable. Even regional migration is less of a viable option. They then provide useful insights into how to better teach business in Pacific schools. Among their recommendations is one which reflects the ongoing concern for culturally appropriate educational strategies.

Title: Education with production : the world of work and small enterprise development for formal and nonformal education

Author: Jones, Adele M.E.
Subject:  Business education|Indonesia
 Business and education|Indonesia
Volume: Directions: Journal of Educational Studies no.41, vol.21, no.2, 1999
Collation: p. 69-82 ;

Abstract: This article introduces production units and small enterprise development in Indonesian vocational-technical schools and training institutions. It sets these developments against a background of a country which has experienced a massive economic downturn, a social environment characterised by redundancy in the formal labour sector and growing unemployment amongst secondary vocational-school leavers, and a political situation which remains fragile, at best. Selected small enterprises which are being developed by a vocational training centre and senior vocational secondary schools in the midst of this turmoil are described in the second part of this paper. The development of these enterprises raises questions for countries in similar situations and provides a model which could be adapted for other countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
