Description

Greening vocational education requires more than policy commitments. It must shape what learners can do, how they learn, and how institutions judge quality. From Green Policy to Practice examines how Thailand’s technical and vocational education and training (TVET) can translate sustainability ambitions into curriculum, teaching, assessment, and quality assurance. It connects international scholarship and policy with the practical decisions facing Thai vocational institutions, teachers, workplace trainers, and education leaders. The book develops an integrated approach to green competence across classroom, workshop, and workplace learning. It explores curriculum mapping, authentic vocational tasks, assessment rubrics, moderation, and institutional improvement, while attending to equity, decent work, and the demands of a just transition. Examples from occupational settings show how environmental responsibility can become part of professional judgment and everyday work. Three proposed frameworks link policy to practice, guide the assessment of green competence, and support institutional quality and maturity review. Practical templates and worked examples help readers adapt these ideas to their own contexts. Throughout, the book distinguishes evidence of learner competence from institutional environmental performance and claims of wider impact. Written for vocational educators, curriculum developers, assessors, quality assurance professionals, institutional leaders, policymakers, and researchers, this book offers a critical and practical resource for making greening an integral part of vocational education.
