High dropout rates combined with low enrollment  rates create a system in which access to education is highly stratified  by class and region. Simply increasing access to the system, and  providing incentives to stay in the system as long as necessary to  acquire a full education, is a key step.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At  the same time, however, the oftentimes poor quality of that education  and its lack of relevance to the students\u2019 available career options mean  that greater access alone won\u2019t solve the problems facing the region.  In this context, the question inevitably arises: why hasn\u2019t technical  and vocational education emerged to fill this gap as it has elsewhere?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While  Latin American secondary school coverage has slowly ticked upward from a  low point of a 30 percent completion rate, the World Bank currently  estimates that barely 55 percent of students region-wide finish their  secondary studies. And while the numbers on university graduates vary  greatly between countries, UNESCO estimates that the rate of 24-29 year  olds that have completed their higher education is at a regional average  of less than 8 percent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Quality,  too, has recently become a stronger focus for policymakers, especially  as the private sector has become increasingly vocal about the fact that  Latin American schools simply aren\u2019t producing graduates with the skills  their businesses need. This includes both traditional \u201chard\u201d skills \u2013  such as literacy, mathematics, or technical expertise \u2013 as well as  \u201csoft\u201d skills, such as work ethic, punctuality, and adaptability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This  skills deficit is being rendered even more acute by the region\u2019s robust  economic growth, which has continued with barely a hiccup through the  global financial crisis. And the years leading up to the crisis were  marked by the greatest growth in per capita GDP  that the region had seen since the 1960s. This is great news \u2013 save for  the fact that even as business seek to expand to take advantage of  growth, they are increasingly running up against a lack of qualified,  dependable workers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In  this context, a robust system of technical and vocational education  (known as TVET) would bring immense value-added to the region, both by  expanding coverage and by teaching the skills necessary for success in  the modern labor force. Yet Latin America\u2019s TVET services are behind those of many other middle-income countries. Why would this be?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Carlos  Tramutola, of the Argentine giant Techint, offers one answer, arguing  that \u201ctechnical education has lost prestige in our countries&#8230;students  think that it has to do with basic, poorly-paid manual labor, when in  reality technical education is a high level education, generally  oriented towards work with new technologies in the productive process.\u201d  He also argues that the high price of technical education, as well as  the failure of governments and business to coordinate a policy response  to that challenge, helps explain its limited role in the region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The  perception of TVET as a menial education is particularly unfortunate  given its role in driving high-innovation, high-productivity sectors of  the economy. Germany  knows this well, given its highly regarded technical education programs  that have powered its export sector and helped it become the largest  economy in Europe.  Under its \u201cdual system\u201d of combined classroom and vocational training,  52 percent of its students receive some level of technical education,  and in addition to that, another 15 percent pursue a purely technical  track.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And it is not only Europe  that has learned this lesson. Secretary of State Clinton has called the  Indian TVET system the \u201cbest in the world\u201d, demonstrating that  technical education can help overcome the severe gaps in primary  education and modern infrastructure that still plague India\u2019s school  system. Technical education programs in countries such as South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, while not reaching Germany\u2019s level, have expanded to become models for their regions as well. And in the United States, community colleges, as they are known, comprise the largest post-secondary system in the nation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The  successes of these countries should be taken seriously by Latin  American political and business leaders, especially in light of  empirical evidence, again from the World Bank, that labor market returns  to technical education are greater than to traditional academic  secondary education. Chile  is one such country that has pushed hard for an expanded role for TVET  within its uniquely privatized and decentralized system \u2013 resulting in  39 percent of its students attending a technical institute of higher  learning, and a total enrollment of 390,000 students in vocational  educational programs countrywide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chile has in many respects set the bar in Latin America  for a stable, prosperous economy \u2013 and now, it has for technical  education as well. The question then remains, will the rest of the  region follow suit?<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.latinbusinesschronicle.com\/app\/section.aspx?id=754&amp;g=1\"><span style=\"text-decoration:
