  1. Vocational Education & Training (VET) in Germany A short overview prepared by Ute Albertsen

  2. Comparisons Germany – Taiwan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany - and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan

  3. Between 1949 and 1990 Germany was divided into two countries, the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic (GDR). The Federal Republic of Germany:founding member of the European Union (EU), has been a member of NATO since 1955,is a full member of the UN since 1973. Germany is a democratic and social federal state.It comprises 16 Länder

  4. The Länder are fundamentally responsible for education and culture (‘cultural sovereignty’ of the Länder). Consequently, in some cases there are marked differences between the school systems of the individual Länder. To ensure a minimum level of common features and comparability despite this, the Standing Conference of Ministers for Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK) of the Länder was established, and meets three to four times a year. • In the field of VET, the Federal Government is responsible for in-company vocational training, while the Länder are responsible for vocational training in schools, and hence also for vocationalschools.

  5. About my career I • 13 years school (Grammar school) • 3 years apprenticeship as carpenter/joiner/cabinetmaker • 6 years working as carpenter (1 ½ year as training instructor) • 7 years of study at the University of Hamburg („Teacher in vocational school“ education, principals of teaching (didatics), wood and plastics technology, history) • 2 year internship in a vocational school (carpentry)
