Wenn sich Bologna und Kopenhagen treffen. Erhöhte Durchlässigkeit zwischen Berufs- und Hochschulbildung

The permeability between vocational education and training and higher education is viewed as key to enhancing social mobility. Large­ scale European initiatives in skill forma­tion, the Bologna and Copenhagen processes, aim to standardize educa­tion and increase mobility. They sup­port national reforms towards enhanced permeability. While the cases of Germany, France and Austria show that skill formation systems are re­sponding to Europeanization, none has thus far departed from its devel­opmental path, questioning popular notions of European convergence.
