The aim of this study was to compare Canadian community colleges with post-secondary vocational schools in Poland. The comparison concentrated upon programs in nursing, tourism and information technology delivered by the following three Polish schools Krakowska Szkola Medyczna, (Cracow, Poland), Policealne Studium Zawodowe, (Cracow, Poland), Cracow School of Information Technology and four Canadian community colleges Red Deer, (Red Deer, Alberta) Centennial (Scarborough, Ontario), Durham (Oshawa, Ontario) and Confederation (Thunder Bay, Ontario). Two research approaches were used in this study: qualitative and quantitative mixed research methodologies. Moreover, the theoretical framework was supplied by the general notion of the school as an organization and social institution. The investigators tried to answer the following research questions. (1) Are post-secondary vocational institutions meeting the requirements of the labor market as well as Canadian community colleges? The predicted answer was "no" because it is easier for colleges to form articulation agreements with schools of higher education than it is for their Polish counterparts. Community colleges in Canada are part of the same post- secondary system of schooling as schools of higher education whereas post-secondary vocational institutions are not--they are part of a secondary school scheme. Articulation agreements allow learners to begin their vocational or academic training in one institution and continue it in another. Labor market requirements are better addressed with comprehensive course transfer agreements. (2) Do Canadian college students have a higher perception of their programs than their Polish post-secondary vocational school counterparts? The predicted answer was "yes" because colleges are higher up in the school structure "pecking order" than post-secondary vocational schools in Poland: post-secondary as opposed to secondary. It was hypothesized that college learners ought to place more value on their programs than their Polish counterparts. The results of our investigation partially supported the predicted answer "no" for question 1--Centennial College's program in tourism has more articulation agreements than their Polish counterpart (Policealne Studium Zawodowe). The predicted answer "yes" was fully confirmed, with regard to question 2. (Contains 12 figures and 8 notes.).

Recent reforms in Polish education, Canadian interest in cooperative education, and differences in government involvement in Polish vs. Canadian education motivate the current comparative study of Polish post-secondary vocational schools (PVSs) and Canadian community colleges (CCs). While PVSs and CCs may initially appear equivalent (e.g., both provide training in specific skill sets), important differences are manifested when the institutions are examined from the perspective of two concepts associated with information technology: "accessibility" and "accountability" of information. A comparative analysis of categories under each concept yields substantial differences between PVSs and CCs in terms of both accessibility (e.g., varied programs of study and course schedules, online application, curriculum comprehensiveness) and accountability (e.g., federal institutional accreditation, surveys of stakeholder groups, unity in program standards). (Contains 2 figures and 5 notes.).

The aim of this study was to compare Polish post-secondary vocational institutions with Canadian community colleges using an information technology theoretical framework consisting of three parts: participation, feedback and partnership. The research concentrated upon programs in nursing, tourism and information technology delivered by the three following Polish schools: "Krakowska Szkola Medyczna" (Cracow, Poland), "Policealne Studium Zawodowe" (Cracow, Poland), "Cracow School of Information Technology"; and four Canadian community colleges: Red Deer (Red Deer, Alberta), Centennial (Scarborough, Ontario), Durham (Oshawa, Ontario) and Confederation (Thunder Bay, Ontario). No individual or group commissioned this research study; therefore, the investigators were unrestricted in conducting this work. Since this study consisted of a close examination of only seven programs, the results obtained are limited in their scope and applicability. The findings are perhaps more important to the participating Polish post-grammar vocational institutions than to the Canadian colleges because of the changes that are expected to occur in Poland's postsecondary vocational school system by the end of 2005. It is recommended that additional research be carried out in the future involving a larger number of institutions.(Contains 1 table.).

This article compares Polish post-secondary vocational (grammar) schools with Canadian community colleges. Accessibility, governance and programs are discussed. The theoretical framework for this comparison was supplied by the notion of the school as an organization and social institution. We found that it is necessary for educators in both Canada and Poland to respond to the needs of an aging population and to come to terms with the impact that globalization has on labour force requirements.
