Sustainable development is an approach to manufacturing and the transportation of goods and services in ways that respond to basic human needs and bring a better quality of life, while minimizing the use of natural resources, toxic materials and emissions of waste and pollutants over a life cycle. Changes that occur in the production period of goods due to the influence of technological developments make linear relationships between vocational education and sustainable development more important. Education and training relationships between sustainable developments is a process. It is a process of incorporating considerations that impact the long-term future of the economy, ecology and society into vocational education and training. In this paper we aim to define sustainable development and vocational education . By focusing on the Turkish vocational educational system and its contribution to sustainable development. This paper points the differences of vocational education structures in European Union Nations And Turkey during the period of 2000 - 2009. According to results of this comparison; vocational education is most widespread in Germany, United Kingdom and Denmark. Turkey has the lowest rate in vocational education student enrollments. In a conclusion the sustainability of vocational training in Turkey is likely to continue to be problematic. Governments can do more to support the sustainability of these skills development systems and need to pay attention to both public and private vocational training and education . In terms of theoretical literature vocational education is vital for combatting the youth unemployment .Turkish politicians must invest on vocational education centers to improve youth peoples employment.

Responding to profound social, political and technological changes, recent global trends in education have included the emergence of new forms of curriculum policy. Addressing a gap in the literature, this book investigates the ways in which curriculum policy is influenced, formulated, and enacted in a number of countries-cases in Europe. This important collection uses the concept of 'curriculum making' as an analytical tool to explore the processes and phases of curriculum policy reform experienced across countries. Drawing first on international perspectives and then presenting a series of country case studies, written by internationally recognised curriculum specialists, the chapters explore curriculum making as an activity that occurs across multiple layers of educational systems, through a continual interplay of the global and local. Concluding with a comparative analysis of the contextual factors that shape curricular practices in different contexts, this book is a must-have resource for educational policy makers, researchers, teachers and teacher educators across the globe.

The emergence of a public request for the realization of special abilities of a person, focused on children, is typical for countries where awareness of their own intellectual backwardness has become a consequence of comparison with others. This is the so-called post-totalitarian or, more specifically, post-communist countries, different from the free world, as thoroughly proved by the study "Psychotherapy in the Western World and in the USSR" (1973) by one of the most prominent hypnotherapists and psychotherapists of the world Dr. Eugene Hlywa (Sydney, Australia). In particular, a definite stature, inherent in every human population, the aggregate of the capacities of people's abilities is roughly equal in each country. However, the countries of the free world, by their freedom of expression and respect for this individual self-expression, create conditions for the implementation of any capacities of abilities, while totalitarian - only conditions for a relatively small number of able people, sufficient to serve the interests of the ruling elite. Everyone else, as it was already in the history of Ukraine at the beginning of the 20th century, was destroyed: most Ukrainian kobzars were shot at Kharkiv, Ukrainian poets, writers and playwrights - shot in the Sandarmokh Karelian tract, etc. Comparison of ancient Greek cities confirms the vitality of Athens as a city of free prosperity of human abilities and the decline of Sparta, which served as an example of a state organization for future communist and national-socialist leaders of the USSR and the Third Reich.

'Mit der Zunahme nichtehelicher Lebensgemeinschaften als 'neue' Form der Partnerschaft wächst die Vermutung, daß die alleinige Untersuchung der ehelichen Partnerwahl als Indikator für sozialstrukturelle Veränderungen nicht mehr ausreicht. Der Artikel geht deshalb der Frage nach, inwieweit sich - hinsichtlich des Bildungsniveaus der Partner - die Wahl von Lebensgefährten für nichteheliche Lebensgemeinschaften von der Wahl von Ehepartnern unterscheidet. Die Untersuchung zeigt nahezu identische Muster der ehelichen und nichtehelichen Partnerwahlen. Daher kann die eheliche Partnerwahl als Indikator abgelöst werden durch Partnerwahlen insgesamt, ohne daß die Möglichkeit des Vergleiches mit früheren Untersuchungen hinfällig würde.' (Autorenreferat)
