How does the German education system train workers?
An interesting phenomenon is that in ancient China, occupations were divided into four categories-"intellectuals, peasants, industry and commerce", and the working class ranked last. However, compared with business, because businessmen are always higher than other occupations in material wealth, industry can be called the bottom in essence. Now it seems that this situation has not really improved, and workers are still a less attractive or unpopular occupation.

But in fact, industry is not lower than any other industry, and workers are not lower than any occupation. Industry is the basic industry and the foundation of the country. High-rise buildings, strong ships and guns do not require workers to complete. So industry and workers deserve more respect.

And how to make people change their views on the industry, personally, education is a key link. The imperfection of the current education system in China is a major factor that leads people to ignore industry and workers. Imagine that now the school teacher says to the poor students, "If you don't study hard, you will become a worker." Even a child can't give him a correct concept of education, let alone others.

You know, a good education system can make people change their views on the industry and even greatly promote the development of the industry. Let's look at the education system in Germany. Germany is one of the most industrialized countries in the world. Let's see how they train workers and develop industry.

Germany's modern education system began at 1806 (Prussia was defeated by Napoleon), which opened compulsory education for all.

The German feudal hierarchy tradition and pragmatic spirit led to the end of the feudal education system and the birth of the track system. Under the sub-regulations, one is a liberal arts middle school connected with universities, and the other is a national school and a vocational school that trains civilian children.

1920 promulgated the law, all children receive four years of basic education, and after four years, they will start to be divided into different tracks. The two characteristics of covering the whole people and the split-track system make the German education effect remarkable. Its compulsory education has made Germany the country with the lowest illiteracy rate, while vocational education has trained excellent workers and boosted its manufacturing industry.

German primary school has only four years in four years. Four years later, students were assigned to three different types of middle schools: subject middle schools, practical middle schools and liberal arts middle schools.

The main middle school (that is, vocational school) has a schooling system of 5 years, that is, grades 5-9. Most students receive vocational training after graduation, and it is difficult to find vocational training positions without obtaining the graduation certificate of the main middle school. In Germany, without vocational training, they cannot find employment.

The function of practical middle school is also the function of intermediate bridge. On the one hand, students can receive vocational education and enter professional schools and colleges after graduation, on the other hand, they can transfer to liberal arts middle schools with good grades. The academic system of practical middle school is 6 years, that is, grade 5- 10, which is one year longer than that of the main middle school, so that students with ability in the main middle school can transfer to practical middle school and get their diplomas here.

According to the regulations of Bavaria, "students in the middle school of arts and sciences will take the exam after finishing 10 grade. Those who pass the exam are eligible to enter the higher grades of the middle school of arts and sciences, and those who fail will be transferred to other types of schools."

Such a diversion system allows students to enter vocational schools earlier, so that vocational education can form its own advantages and attractiveness, not just a foil for the college entrance examination and the senior high school entrance examination. Vocational schools have the opportunity to develop fairly with other liberal arts schools.

Moreover, because vocational schools are valued, they have many resources, many training directions and meticulous training. This means that students have more kinds of vocational schools to choose from and more majors to choose from. Students have stronger professional ability, better professional choice, and more can be transferred to senior technicians and senior technicians. In German society, excellent technicians and blue-collar workers are given higher wages and prestige.

It can be said that the development of German industry today has largely benefited from the education system, because for industry, not only excellent technical talents are needed, but also excellent operational talents are needed. I believe I don't need to elaborate on how rare a good worker is and how valuable a good technician is. There are so many outstanding industrial talents in Germany that it is almost impossible for industry to fail.

Finally, although our country is not friendly to industry in education at present, I have always had confidence in him. Because our country is constantly developing, we are also paying attention to industry and workers. I believe that one day, workers will be loved and sought after by everyone like other industries.
