„Vocational education and training (VET) plays a key role in preventing pupils from dropping out of the education and training system altogether, since it can provide them with an alternative to the more academically oriented ‚traditional‘ school programmes. Indeed, data shows that ESL rates (Anm.: ESL = Early school leaving) tend to be higher in countries with a weaker developed VET system.“
