It is interesting that continental european higher education IS mostly vocational schools. You go there to earn a grade in specific skillset. I imagine this is most pronounced in central and eastern europe (including of course Germany). Yet somehow US and UK universities seem to beat continental schools by most metrics and ratings. They don't set on teaching skills and science but that they also do successfully.
