Cross-border Integration of Vocational and Academic Education:A Comparative Study of Higher Education Entrance Qualifications in Germany and Switzerland
In the context of educational expansion,international strategies for the layout of tertiary education,the tasks of higher education institution and the design of higher education entrance qualifications are rich and varied.With the support of the common cultural logic and classical vocational educational concepts,the German and Swiss higher education entrance qualification systems have developed in a somewhat similar process:through the combined effect of the differentiation of schools and universities,the scientific inclusion of vocational education/elements promotes the differentiation of types of higher education entrance qualification,creates a hybrid path between purely vocational education and academic education,and promotes the regulation and permeability of the national education system.However,there are still different orientations in the specific arrangements for the system of higher education entrance qualifications.Germany pays more attention to the inclusiveness of types and the binding relationship with universities,while Switzerland pays more attention to the parallelism of types and the binding relationship with schools.By exploring the similarities and differences in the higher education entrance qualification systems of Germany and Switzerland,we can see how the cross-border integration of vocational and academic education can be realized through the differentiation of higher education entrance qualifications in German-speaking countries,where the development of vocational and higher education is given equal importance,so as to provide inspiration for the synergistic innovation of vocational and higher education.
