Swiss Education Paths

Summary

Swiss Education Paths offers a rigorous exploration of Switzerland's distinctive multiple-track education system, particularly its impact on career pathways and socio-economic factors. The book addresses how early academic tracking influences student outcomes and the adaptability of vocational training in today’s evolving job market. A key focus is the tension between providing specialized vocational skills and ensuring equitable opportunities for social mobility, especially given that Switzerland’s commitment to vocational training is deeply rooted in its federalist structure.

The textbook uniquely combines educational, sociological, and economic perspectives to critically analyze the Swiss system. It begins by outlining the historical and philosophical foundations before diving into detailed analyses of academic versus vocational tracks, assessing student outcomes, and proposing policy reforms.

Drawing on longitudinal studies, statistical data, and interviews, Swiss Education Paths argues that while the system effectively meets labor market needs, its structure may inadvertently limit individual potential. This academic work, while maintaining an accessible tone, progresses systematically through the topic. Chapters build upon each other, offering a comprehensive understanding that challenges the perception of the Swiss model as purely efficient. It provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers interested in comparative education, vocational training, and promoting equity in education.

No Children It Makes Sense! -...

Nathalie Six

“Kids are great. It’s a unique process that everyone should experience.” Except that today, 1 in 20 French people refuse to have children. What are the reasons for this “voluntary infertility?”
Do we really know why we have children? Isn’t having children an obstacle to personal and professional development? In an overpopulated and polluted world, isn’t it selfish to take up too much space by having a family? Don’t children cost too much to individuals and to society?
The author investigates with dozens of women and men for whom the “duty to procreate” rings hollow. Among these “non-parents” are exclusive lovers, artists, careerists, religious people, traumatized children, eternal teenagers, environmentalists, convinced Malthusians, as well as feminist activists who have made their refusal to give birth a standard, in order to assert themselves in a society that praises all mothers and family values.
