Case studies of integrated pedagogy in vocational education: A three-tier approach to empowering vulnerable youth in urban Cambodia
Author: I-Hsuan Cheng
Publishing Date:
2010
Category: Research
International Journal of Educational Development 30 (2010) 438–446 - This paper starts with the real-life issues pertaining to the educational, economic and socio-cultural vulnerability of young Cambodians; and the latter in turn has called for greater integrated stance in vocational education. A multiple-case study of nine educational NGOs located in four cities was conducted, whereby what constitutes an integrated pedagogy of vocational education is explored and, accordingly, a context-appropriate three-tier approach to empowering vulnerable youth is developed. I argue that the young people’s vulnerability in urban Cambodia could not be overcome, unless vocational education has a more positive effect on their employment and empowerment.

National Institute for Educational Policy Research (NIER) Japan, 2007 (Seminar report with regional good practices) - The assimilation of youth and young adults into the world of work has become an important policy issue for the majority of countries. Worldwide, changes in the nature of work and employment have weakened the prospects of long-term and secure jobs, even for the most educated young people. A high level of youth unemployment has become a global phenomenon, but it is especially prominent in the Asia-Pacific region. This region is home to over 45 percent of the world’s young people without work (in 2005, 39.2 million young people were unemployed). Young people are three times more likely to be unemployed than adults, especially young women are affected
