Sehr guter Zustand / very good condition. - Within UNESCO, the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) serves as a laboratory of knowledge and information on TVET with a par-ticular reference to innovative and best practices in education for the world of work. To facilitate exchange of this information and knowledge, UNESCO-UNEVOC is in the process of developing an extensive publications programme. The purpose of this programme is to ac-quaint education decision-makers and policy-makers with innovations, best practices and cutting-edge developments in TVET, to help de-velop and renew education Systems in Member States to achieve greater quality, equity and relevance in their TVET programmes. In compliance with its methods and purposes, UNESCO-UNEVOC has supported the preparation of this essay. The essay is an attempt to understand the German apprenticeship System, known as the dual System of vocational education and training, as a phenome-non embedded in a particular political, economic, cultural and edu-cational environment. One of the main issues explored in the essay is the investment behaviour of German Companies with regard to fmancing training programmes. Despite a widespread perception among international TVET experts that Companies usually do not invest in entry-level vocational training, German Companies have been admired for their often lavish funding of training. The dual System became a blueprint for many international efforts, mostly governmental in nature, de-signed to emulate the German training System. Unfortunately, due attention was not always paid to the conditions behind the success of the dual System. Both inside and outside Germany, there have been difficulties in understanding why German Companies investment behaviour deviates so sharply from international patterns of fmancing training programmes. To understand the reasons why German Companies invest in ap-prenticeships, this essay explores salient features of German appren-ticeships in Order to analyze how they interact with their political, cultural, social, educational and economic environment. The essay also examines the purpose-oriented design and planning of the German concept of Äpprenticeship, a System which in Germany has been successful by tradition, with the result that its tertiary education sec-tor is much smaller than comparable sectors in other economically advanced countries. While the transfer of dual System from Germany to other countries has been rarely successful, one basic feature of the System is still attractive to many policy-makers and training experts around the world - that is, the linkage between training (orTVET) institutions and the Companies and/or the labour market, in addition to the concomitant practice-oriented nature of training. In Order to identify the main features of the complexity of the German Äpprenticeship concept, the author reviews several important traits of the German political System and the German political economy. He also examines the German education and training System, which gradually emerged during the foundation years of Germa-nys economic dynamism in the second half of the 19th Century, as well as after World Wars I and II. The author asserts that philosophical and biological concepts and theories of society are still enshrined in structures which came into existence in former times, and which still show a remarkable capacity to persist even under conditions of a so-called knowledge-based economy and society. The text presented here contributes to the litera-ture on Varieties of Capitalism (in addition to Varieties of Democ-racy) from the angle of training, supporting the concept that different balances between political and economic values in different socie-ties have effects on political, and education and training Systems. The author further argues that the notion of a Dual System. which underlies the German concept of äpprenticeship, refers not only to the interplay of company-based training that is enhanced by voca-tional school education, but also to the intricate relationship between the Companies political and economic interests. The chapter on fmancing of training is particularly interesting because it attempts to explain the miracle of fmancing in an unorthodox way. While this is true for many countries, Germanys political and social landscape offers special opportunities to the private sec-tor to shape the younger generation - a fact which does not appear to be fully understood internationally. The author argues that companies have wider interests than just profit-making, and explores how these interests find expression in Companies and private sector education and training policies. German Companies take on apprentices not so much for economic, social responsibility or for image improve-ment reasons, but rather do so because of the privilege of designing and implementing mass-relevant training Standards, and shaping the skills, competences, attitudes and mentalities of the younger genera-tion. This feature is particularly relevant to the role of apprentice training in German politics and economy. The final chapter speculates about the future of Germanys economic development. It takes fundamental educational reform as one of the prerequisites for a return to a fully-fledged economic dyna-mism and as one of the conditions required to successfully combat unemployment. The author emphasizes that the German model of vocational ap-prenticeship is a particular but, nevertheless, exemplary model of vocational apprenticeship, because its concept is considered to be useful for handing down technical competences in a number of labour market niches as well as on a mass scale to the labour market in general. At the same time, he highlights the importance of the tertiary education sector as a necessa.…
