Arguing from the General to the particular — 1

Abstract

While the proposals for the new Certificate in Pre‐Vocational Education (CPVE) recently announced by Sir Keith Joseph may be welcomed by many lecturers in further education, by verifying that the successful Business & Technician Education Council (BTEC) General Diploma is to be subsumed with CPVE, the proposals have confirmed the worst fears of most lecturers in business studies. Why then should this action of classifying the BTEC General award as a pre‐vocational qualification surprise and annoy so many lecturers in further education?
