Overview

Policy analysis reveals structural shifts toward academisation in German vocational training, highlighting reduced access for lower-achieving youth and migrants.

Key Points

To examine how expanding academisation, gender segmentation, and alternative educational pathways are restructuring Germany's traditional dual system of vocational education and training.
Analyzed institutional shifts across the German vocational education and training (VET) landscape, comparing dual apprenticeships with school-based training.
Evaluated trends in tertiary education expansion and examined structural access barriers facing lower-achieving youth, migrants, and refugees.
Tertiary expansion and the rise of dual study programmes increasingly attract high-performing youth, shifting the dual system away from its traditional baseline.
Elevated qualification requirements create significant structural barriers that exclude low-achieving young people, migrants, and refugees from fully qualifying training positions.
School-based vocational tracks reflect persistent gender segmentation in the German labour market, limiting equitable integration across career paths.
