This indicator refers to the duration of vocational education and training that is offered by the state in the respective year.
Coding rules
Only institutionalized vocational training is recognized. Vocational education is defined through the designation for learners to acquire the knowledge, skills and competencies specific to a particular occupation, trade, or class of occupations. Such programs may have work-based components (e.g. apprenticeships, dual-system education programs). The completion leads to labor-market relevant qualifications acknowledged by national authorities and/or labor market.
Subcategory I: The indicators in this dataset can be grouped into 5 categories, based on the information they contain: system, resources, performance, participation and cultural reproduction. In addition, a second category allows a more differentiated classification of the different indicators. In general, the systems category defines all legally implemented structures of education systems (e.g. the introduction of compulsory schooling). Resources denotes financial or personnel resources a system can distribute (e.g. student-teacher ratios). Performance describes indicators linked to the successful progression of student through the education system (for example completion rates). Cultural reproduction is mostly linked to the curriculum and describes indicators related to teaching content. The grouping of indicators allows for a better overview of the data as displayed in WESIS.
Subcategory II: Durations
Indicators containing durations specify the official minimum duration of a given level of education. This can entail the duration of all compulsory levels, split into the primary and secondary sector as well as non-compulsory durations such as state-wide, state offered programs such as pre-school or higher education.
