Current problems and developments of VET in Germany: the educational case for modernisation

This paper examines Germany’s Dual System of vocational education and training (VET) in the context of modernisation of Germany’s educational system. The German VET system is perceived as a conservative framework which resists radical change. This paper holds that modernisation must not only mean adapting the training system to economic and technicla developments, but also keeping up those educational and social functions which form an essential part of the philosophy of the Dual System.
