Abstract	This monograph attempts to give a complete presentation of the Norwegian vocational education and training (VET) system. The target group includes those who may be responsible for, and concerned with, VET policy issues, researchers in the field, directors of vocational training departments or institutions, and trainers and teachers. The Norwegian system appears to be a well-integrated one, in which vocational education and training is given a place of virtual equality with general education. A four-year upper secondary vocational education which incorporates two years in school and two years in a company as an apprentice provides a unique method of binding apprenticeship into the school system, while at the same time making the school system respond to the needs of employers and the labour market. The high levels of participation in higher education, but also the strong vocational orientation of much of that higher education, also underline the attempt at a unitary system of education and training which is egalitarian, comprehensive and of high quality. In addition, there is an interesting organisation of regional and local responsibility and a very strong participation, both formal and informal, of the social partners. (DIPF/orig.).
