Ah just like the old System the UK had with Grammar schools for the middle class and Secondary modern for the working class kids whose role in life to leave school at 15/16 and work in industry.
- tremon 11y agoIt's got nothing to do with "working class kids" and their "role in life". I've had classmates from very affluent parents move into vocational training, and I've had poor friends complete a university degree. That the US and UK fail in this matter doesn't say anything about the rest of the world's ability to provide equal opportunity for all children.
- spacecowboy_lon 11y agoLol that wouldn't fly in this country (UK) vocational training is for the "Plebs". And from what a German HN contibutor said here its funny how all the "dark skinned" Germans get put into the vocational track. Germany is unfortuntly an outlier.
