We have seen an enormous growth in educational institutions during the past fifty years both in in the so-called North and South. The growth seems to be intimately linked to the universal belief that an educated population is crucial for productivity in present day society marked by constant development of new technology and the conduct of new labor processes and their management. In "the North", education has become a branded commodity for export, as seen in many of the development projects mounted by the Western World for the "less-developed" countries. Educators in the "South" possess both a faith in, and a skepticism towards, constructing national copies of the educational systems found in the rich western countries. One theme for enquiry follows: If the modern, reason-based, hierarchically-organized education of "the Western World" is now a corporate cultural brand exported globally, both on the strength of its effectiveness and as a symbol of freedom, democracy, individualism and human rights, it engenders dilemmas and contradictions wherever it is exported. These conflicts are reflected in all social scientific disciplines related to questions of learning and teaching. Vocational pedagogy and vocational didactics are central new concepts in this discussion}, pages = {1--16}, title = {Vocational Pedagogy in Praxis : Lessons from Uganda}, volume = {21}, year = {2020} }
