Abstract
The chapter explores the debates that informed the provision of technical and vocational education from the 1920s, when institutional structures to support such a system were first put into place; and outlines the different social and institutional contexts that shaped such provision until 1970. It also examines the ways in which the systems of technical and vocational education provision developed in South Africa in that period and how the "skills" levels of respective learners were understood.-
