This paper analyses some of the policy‐practice lessons learned from the Technical and Vocational Education Initiative as its influence comes to an end. Historically, perhaps, TVEI will be remembered as a moment in education policy and practice, characterizing the transitional phase from local to central determination of the curriculum. This paper considers how TVEI affected the culture of teaching, learning and curriculum in ways unintended and not envisaged at the time by teachers, schools, LEAs, unions and government. It argues, however, that if TVEI radically embodied crucial changes going on in British society its influence has been limited. The fact that there has been resistance and opposition to the straitjacket of the National Curriculum and testing nevertheless suggests that there is a critical lesson to learn from TVEI: namely, that education policy which fails to engage with the culture of the school, college and teaching profession is unlikely to achieve meaningful reform
