Abstract

„What are the strengths and weaknesses of pre-vocational education in different European countries, and what can they learn from each other?” (S.9) Thisis the basic research question asked by a team of European researchers who present their results of a comparative empirical analysis in this anthology. They firstly undertook a curricular anal-ysis in seven European countries and afterwards they interviewed teachers as well as representatives of relevant social partners. The book provides interested readers with a plenitude of enlightening results. These are presented in a reproducible and systematical way. Therefore the English written volume can be highlyrecommended to get a deeper insight in European pre-vocational education at compulsory schools.
