This study, largely based on literature review supplemented
with information from lectures and interviews, attempts to
give guidelines and make recommendations on how the gap
between the school and the working world can be narrowed in
South Africa to improve the employability of school-leavers.
Chapter One involves the identification of the problem to be
investigated. Chapter Two defines the economic role and
function of the school in society in the light of different
theories and practices. The present state of education in
South Africa, with specific focus on how it relates to the
working world, is examined in Chapter Three. Chapter Four
examines the relationship between schooling and the working
world in selected countries. Chapter Five proposes some
guidelines and recommendations for the closer integration of
the school with the world of work in South Africa. Chapter
Six deals with final conclusions, new perspectives and
guidelines for future research. / Educational Studies / M. Ed.
