Learner-centred education (LCE) has been a recurrent theme in many national education policies in the global South, and has had wide donor support through aid programmes and smaller projects and localised innovations. However, the history of the implementation of LCE in different contexts is riddled with stories of failures grand and small.

Apprenticeship in developed and industrialised nations is increasingly understood and practised as learning which connects workplace activity and formal study. The concept of 'expansive apprenticeship' defines frameworks for workforce development where participants acquire knowledge and skills which will help them in the future as well as in their current roles; 'restrictive' apprenticeships limit opportunities for wider, lifelong learning. In developing world economies, apprenticeships are...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The South African public technical and vocational education and training (TVET) colleges have experienced considerable change in the past 20 years.
