What are all the characteristics of German education? According to the statistics of the German Ministry of Education last year, under the strict German education system, only 26% of those who can go to college after graduating from high school choose to go to college. Although universities are free to choose their majors and schools, in Germany, more than 58% students choose to go to vocational colleges or junior colleges. The following is a detailed introduction:

Feature 1: German vocational education is world-renowned, and its core feature is "dual system" education. Simply put, the "dual system" means that students in vocational schools study at school and practice in enterprises. Practice time in enterprises accounts for about 70%, and study time in schools accounts for about 30%. Learning is process-oriented and can also be said to be practice-oriented learning. Through a lot of hands-on practice, I will go to school to study when I encounter problems and rise to theory. Targeted learning allows students to have goals.

The second feature is that German enterprises actively participate in vocational education. German enterprises attach great importance to quality. To ensure quality, talents are the most important. A large part of the work plan of German enterprises is the requirement of talent training. With the participation of enterprises, the talent culture medium of vocational education is order-based training. Students usually study the problems raised by enterprises. After graduation, students can basically enter the enterprise with "zero transition".

The third feature is that German enterprises have a large number of dual-qualified talents. They are mainly masters of some factories or enterprises, have strong skills and experience in professional fields, and are also educators who can undertake vocational education and teaching.

The fourth feature is that German vocational education is managed, arranged, coordinated, propositioned, tested and awarded certificates by the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Chamber of Commerce and Industry is a co-management organization of enterprises. Because of its participation, the combination of vocational education and enterprises has become perfect, and the chamber of commerce and industry can clearly know the needs of enterprises, formulate vocational education courses according to the needs, and at the same time formulate standards.

In Germany, junior high school graduates, senior high school graduates and social workers can all go to vocational education. There is no requirement for academic qualifications, and there is basically no threshold. Under the condition that the enterprise can provide corresponding positions, everyone can study the major he wants to study. On the other hand, as long as he gets a position in the enterprise, the surrounding schools must accept him as a student. If the school degree is not enough, you can apply to the government for help or increase the number of study places and corresponding funding.

In Germany, vocational schools practice lenient entry and strict exit. Only by passing the examinations of enterprises and schools and obtaining vocational skills certificates can you really graduate. German vocational skills certificate is issued by the German IH K Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
