Sweden's educational system was analyzed to determine the degree of coherence that exists between compulsory education, upper secondary education (which in Sweden includes both vocational and general education), and the various forms of adult education available. First, the objectives and structure of the following components of Sweden's school system were described: compulsory schooling; upper secondary education (including apprenticeship training and special and independent upper secondary schools); and adult education (public adult education, national schools for adults, advanced vocational training, and popular education). The following forces facilitating coherence in Sweden's educational system were examined: shared fundamental values, common syllabi and course-based organization, and the transition from compulsory school to upper secondary school. Strategies for reforming upper secondary school and the coherence between education and training were discussed along with coherence between school and working life. The issue of coherence was also considered in relation to vocational education for adults, Sweden's Agenda 2000, existing labor market policy training programs, continuity between upper secondary education and higher education (including higher technical vocational education), and the role of local resource and community development centers. (Appended is information about the following: preschool education in Sweden; time-schedule for compulsory education; and the need for competence.) (MN)

The five papers included in this monograph represent an attempt on the part of the Office of Career Education to clarify differences between career education and vocational education. The first paper, "Everyone's Favorite Solution Can't Be All Bad--A Reply to James O'Toole," rebuts O'Toole's seven charges against vocational education. The second paper is "Career Education, Vocational Education, and Occupational Education: An Approach to Defining Differences." Concepts of work, career, vocation, occupation, leisure, and education are defined as they relate to career, vocational, and occupational education. Implications for change in vocational education in the academic setting are also discussed. The third paper, "Career Education and Work Experience Education: Can We Join Together?" discusses implications of the career education concept for work experience educators. "Business Office Occupations and Distributive Education: Keys to Career Education," the fourth paper, suggests ways in which business and office occupations and distributive education teachers could move to convert both academic teachers and vocational educators into "career educators." The fifth paper, "Career Education: Strategies and Dilemmas," summarizes the current status of career education and discusses basic attitudinal problems facing it. (TA)
