Abstract: 

Since Independence, in August 1962, Jamaica has viewed technical and vocational education as an important aspect of education to be accentuated in its national development. Successive governments have recognized that the nation's economic future depends largely on scientists, technicians, skilled workers, teachers, and leaders of the institutions where these individuals work. Significant social, economic, and political developments have been initiated and implemented to reinforce this commitment to technical and vocational education.
