The author focuses on topics regarding: the steps taken to ensure the effectiveness of academic teachers and CTE/VET teachers; gender equality; ethnic/racial diversity; the role of education system; career focus; and others. Each topics addresses significant contemporary issues impacting secondary and postsecondary CTE professionals. (ERIC).
