This working paper sets out to do three things. First, to examine the broader role, contribution and limitations of comparative international skills benchmarking studies. Second, to identify those elements of the influential [Institute of Manpower Studies] 'Competence and competition' study [indexed at TD/IRD 88.114] that represented a lasting contribution to British debates about education and training (E&T). Third, given the relatively static nature of the English policy debate about E&T policy, to identify where new approaches to old problems may be emerging elsewhere in the developed world.
