description After a third of a century of extensive investment in vocational education in less developed countries, return on investment has been disappointing and the future of vocational education seems uncertain. Yet, in Gulf Cooperation Countries, vocational education is emerging as the cornerstone of the national human resource development strategy. Examines the key factors inhibiting the effectiveness of vocational education in Saudi Arabia and takes colleges of technology as a case study.
