This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the field of policy transfer in education, with a particular focus on technical and vocational education and training (TVET), adult education, professional and higher education. Bringing together contributions from around the world, the chapters indicate how policy transfer should be embedded in regional and cultural contexts, according to established knowledge as well as emerging perspectives. The book will be a must-read for researchers, policymakers and practitioners working in all areas of education relating to labour market skills, who are aiming for an improved understanding of the successes and failures of policy transfer initiatives in TVET and higher education.

This book maps recent developments in the landscape of education policy in higher and vocational education, the returns of education, curriculum design and education reforms, driven by social, economic, political and cultural factors. Contributed by over twenty authors from five continents, this collection provides diverse, innovative and useful perspectives on the ways education policy is researched, implemented and enacted. It helps researchers, policy makers, students and practitioners to better understand processes of policy making, its theory, practice and outcomes. Despite national differences, many shared features and challenges emerge from this book as education systems face the common need to reinvent their existing systems and processes.

Berufliche Bildung ist wie kein anderer Bildungssektor an Arbeitsmarktentwicklungen gekoppelt. Die Gewährleistung der an sie gerichteten Ansprüche (Bildung, Fachkräftequalifikation, Sozialisation) sind aktueller denn je im berufs- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Fachdiskurs. Vor dem Hintergrund und mit Blick auf die pandemiebedingten arbeitsmarktlichen und sozialstrukturellen Verschiebungen liefert der Band mit theoretischen und empirischen Beiträgen eine Bestandsaufnahme der beruflichen Bildung in Deutschland zu den Schwerpunkten Übergänge und Inklusion junger Menschen, Europäisierung und Internationalisierung beruflicher Bildung, Berufs- und Arbeitsmarktpolitik.

This volume presents selected results from the initiative "Research on the Internationalization of Vocational Education and Training", funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
