Fine tuning
The survey I am referring to was done in the framework of the FARE project. In German VET schools the situation is different from what you say Andreas: the usual clientele was supplemented by graduates from the secondary II school. These students have "Abitur", they won't or cannot attend university so they decide on the following strategy: graduate from VET school, having the option for a job and not loosing the possibility to study, so pushing their carees.

This is causing a lot of problems for German VET schools creating very heterogenous classes and leading to a new phenomena: crowding -out of the other Vet students. Vet schools or education authorities haven't yet found a strategy to deal with it. This is an additional disadvantage for some of the VET students coming out of learning environments not facilitating learning.
