Originally published in 1984, this book was the first serious attempt to grapple with the curricular implications of the Youth Training Scheme and with the questions about the organization, administration and manpower policy objectives of the scheme. The book develops an organizational perspective to the analysis of curriculum and attempts a new definition. The meaning of the word curriculum is discussed and a new definition develops through which the curricular implications of the Youth Training Scheme are drawn out. A labour market analysis is used to link youth unemployment, national manpower policy and the provision of education and training of 16–19 year olds in the English education system at the time. Today it can be read in its historical context.
