Learning Management through a Dual Education Curriculum to Enhance Learner Quality in Basic Education Institutions for the 21st Century

Abstract

This academic article aims to present the approaches and value of learning management through a dual education curriculum for enhancing the quality of learners in basic education institutions in the twenty-first century. The scope of the article focuses on the provision of quality and effective education that enables learners, as valuable human resources, to develop their full potential. The article emphasizes an analysis of the key components and factors involved in collaborative educational management between institutions under the Office of the Basic Education Commission and those under the Office of the Vocational Education Commission. The dual education management process consists of six sequential stages: (1) educational administration, (2) curriculum development, (3) student admission, (4) teaching and learning management, (5) measurement and evaluation, and (6) supervision and monitoring of educational outcomes. Three learning management models are presented. First, students may enroll in a vocational education institution under the Office of the Vocational Education Commission and pursue a Vocational Certificate Program. Upon completion, they are awarded a Vocational Certificate. Second, students may enroll in an upper secondary education institution under the Office of the Basic Education Commission and undertake a curriculum that emphasizes both general and vocational subjects. Upon graduation, they receive both an upper secondary school certificate and a Vocational Certificate and may subsequently continue their studies in a Higher Vocational Certificate Program or pursue undergraduate studies at public or private higher education institutions. Third, students may enroll in an institution under the Office of the Basic Education Commission and, upon completion of their studies, receive an upper secondary school certificate.
