9781330970652: The Problem of the Continuation School

Synopsis

This book tackles the issue of the worrying number of young people entering poor employment prospects, tracing the problem to the quality of elementary and continuation schooling. The author argues that to adequately prepare teenagers for the modern working world, it is essential that they receive a practical and enjoyable education that fosters a love of learning. In support of this, the book offers an in-depth study of the Munich school system, where compulsory continuation classes for 14 to 18-year-olds have been a resounding success. By combining theoretical education with practical skills and situating learning within the context of a specific trade, this education system has all but eradicated the issue of blind-alley occupations for young people entering the workforce. This study offers valuable insights for anyone interested in educational reform and provides an inspiring example of how to teach young people the skills they need to thrive in the ever-evolving world of work.
