Abstract

This publication is based on the results of a major European research and development project on 'The acquisition of integrated qualifications for professional work and study - an assessment of innovative approaches in seven European countries (INTEQUAL)'. This project was sponsored by the European Commission's Leonardo da Vinci program and investigates how to increase the attractiveness and status of initial vocational education and training. The report includes contributions from a number of authors who analysed dual qualification schemes in Austria, France, Germany, England, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. The schemes enable vocational students to gain qualifications for university entrance along with their vocational qualifications through the combination or integration of general and vocational education. The comparative investigation covered various schemes within the education systems of the countries. Chapter two contains seven papers describing the schemes from each country; chapter three provides a comparative investigation of the schemes; the next four chapters explore selected issues of qualifications with dual orientation; chapter eight presents a comparative survey of the major lessons drawn from investigation of the schemes; and the final chapter reflects on the project's contribution to the debate on dual qualification schemes at national and international level. The report contains the following chapters: Introduction / Alan Brown and Sabine Manning; National schemes of qualifications - GNVQ: England / Alan Brown; MBO: The Netherlands / Trudy Moerkamp and Eva Voncken; Pilot projects of double qualification: Germany / Rainer Bremer and Werner Kusch; The vocational baccalaureat: France / Henri Eckert and Jean-Louis Kirsch; Vocational programmes: Sweden / Goran Arman, Robert Hoghielm and Owe Liljefelt; Vocational streams: Norway / Tor Bergli, Egil Froyland and Lillian Larsen; The WIFI Academies: Austria / Monika Thum-Kraft; Comparison of qualification schemes / Sabine Manning; Integrated learning processes: Germany, Norway and Sweden / Goran Arman, Tor Bergli, Rainer Bremer, Egil Froyland, Gerald Heidegger, Robert Hoghielm, Lillian Larsen and Owe Liljefelt; Possible role for synoptic assessment: England / Alan Brown; Facilitating progression to higher education: England and the Netherlands / Alan Brown, Trudy Moerkamp and Eva Voncken; Tracing careers: Austria, France and Germany / Henri Eckert, Jean-Louis Kirsch, Werner Kusch and Monika Thum-Kraft; Lessons of mutual learning / Sabine Manning; Postscript / Pekka Kamarainen.
