Each country report begins with an outline of the national context--the country's geographical features and the ethnological composition of its population; cultural history and religious considerations are included where they are relevant to VET. A brief description follows of the overall education system of which VET is a part. The next section of each report examines the VET system within which the teachers and trainers who are the subject of this publication serve. The following section describes the teaching and training faculty--in quantitative and qualitative terms to the extent that the relevant information is available--and an account of teachers' and trainers' legal standing, rights, and duties and also those of the teacher unions and other professional organizations that work on their behalf. The final substantive sections explore the inservice and continuing training opportunities open to teachers and trainers in VET and possibilities for career advancement. A separate section lists the addresses of institutes associated in some way with the initial or continuing training of teachers or trainers in VET. Finally, each country report presents a list of acronyms and abbreviations used in the text. (YLB)

Trainers must be prepared to provide traditional training and to help design original training systems that make it possible to build up new professional identities. The existing literature provides a clear view of the demand for training for trainers. Studies are now focusing on ways in which the training supply is meeting this demand. Some problems raised by trainers in basic vocational training are limited autonomy and little opportunity for educational innovation, obstacles to student and teacher mobility among Member States of the European Community, and unattractive career advancement and salaries. Trainers in continuing education who have opportunities for greater initiative and autonomy cite these trends: emergence of a more clearly defined training management function, use of outside services, decrease in relative numbers of full-time trainers in enterprise, decentralization of training, and increasing importance of training needs analysis. Studies suggest distinctions among teachers, full-time trainers, and occasional trainers. Specialists in educational engineering and training engineering and training management specialists and technicians are also emerging. The question is how to envisage the training of trainers in a period of transition between the current destructuring stage and establishment of a new integrating cultural model which entails a genuine change of culture. Other problems are opening up access and increasing use of the supply of training. (YLB)
