„The combination of classroom learning and practical training is an attractive learning pathway. […] Apprenticeships may also be effective against early school leaving: they appeal to more practically-minded young people who may lack the aptitude to for [sic] further classroom-based learning, and reduce incentives to leave school for paid work.
