- Summary:
-
A study examined the job requirements and working conditions of vocational and technical education teachers (VTETs) in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. Data were gathered (1) from published materials and interviews with officers and staff of concerned agencies and (2) from a project-developed questionnaire that was administered to 109 VTETs in the five targeted countries as well as 21 VTETs from Maldives, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Tonga, Vanuatu, and Western Samoa. In all of the countries examined, VTETs assume any one or all of the roles of teacher, designer, and administrator. Within each country, however, VTETs are split into two camps--the education camp, which is usually under the Ministry of Education, and the training camp, which is usually administered by the Ministry of Labor. The education camp gives more premium to academic qualifications, whereas the training camp prizes industrial work experience more highly. Only in very rare cases did VTETs enjoy extra privileges compared with other bureaucrats (as in Indonesia, where VTETs working under the Ministry of Labor get free housing). Private industry in the countries studied paid from two to five times more than did the government for workers with the qualifications required of VTETs, and career growth also appeared to be faster in the private industries. Most VTETs surveyed were satisfied with their jobs, primarily because of job content, friendly interpersonal relations, and job stability and security. Sources of job dissatisfaction included salaries and fringe benefits, work environment, and physical facilities. (Appendixes include the survey instrument and seven tables detailing the data obtained for each of the countries studied.) (MN)
