Day By Day

After the merger of two Germany States, the German economy has suffered from a lack of growth and social contradictions have appeared day by day. The Dual System of vocational education with German characteristics has also faced many difficulties and challenges. Many scholars even believe that the Dual System in Germany will soon disintegrate, but as a social system, the Dual System of vocational education also has the basic mechanism to change itself to meet the requirements of social development.

The Future

The quality of vocational education immediately after high school in Germany depends on cooperation between schools and companies as partners in the vocational education ‘Dual System’. If this system is to remain efficient in the future, current problems need to be solved. Therefore, a new concept of cooperation is introduced. This concept considers regional potential and opportunities for development and incorporates other local investors besides the traditional partners of the ‘Dual System’.

Viable Model

The longevity of people with intellectual disabilities is increasing in developing nations. However, developing nations lack a proper system of care for aging persons with intellectual disabilities. Until now the care has been provided by parents and relatives in the home environment in developing countries, but this scenario is also changing; therefore, there is a strong need to explore a plan of care for this population which is also feasible and replicable. The National Trust is an autonomous body of the Government of India which has developed a comprehensive plan of care for adults with intellectual disabilities. In this article, the National Trust is discussed using a socioecological model. The replicability and suitability of this model for other developing countries are discussed.

AbstractPromoting vocational secondary education can be an appealing option for developing countries in order to improve labour market outcomes. The main reason for the promotion of vocational education is the increase of the labour force. The debate regarding the benefit resulted from vocational education, as opposed to general education is far from conclusive. This paper analyses the return to schooling of vocational and general high-schools in Indonesia using Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS). The study finds no difference in the returns to schooling between vocational and general high-schools in Indonesia. The findings may imply that the government should focus on promoting general education, especially in the developing countries such as Indonesia, easing the access to higher education, as well as improving the curriculum in vocational education.

And Training

In Germany, the dual system of apprenticeship training has traditionally been very strong. The dominant position of the dual system, however, is being challenged by other training routes gaining significance, particularly tertiary education. This article investigates the extent to which this is leading to a restructuring of the dual system. Developments in school-based vocational programmes, trends of academisation and challenges deriving from qualifying low achievers are discussed. The growing significance of school-based programmes is linked to the gender impact of the vocational education and training (VET) system and the gender segmentation of the German labour market, while academisation reflects labour market demands for high skills. With dual study programmes and three and a half-year dual training, the dual system seeks to provide attractive training options for highly skilled young people. This, however, has made access to fully-qualifying vocational programmes very difficult for low-achieving young people, including migrants and refugees, thereby challenging the integration function of the German VET system.
