Vocational Education
Vocational education refers to education for a particular occupation. Industrialized countries have seen a fall in demand for unskilled workers, and an increase in jobs in the professional, technical, commercial, and administrative sector. Vocational education is traditionally associated with trades and crafts: young people were apprentice to employers for a number of years and learned on the job. Today the focus has shifted from the workplace to secondary and higher education institutions, and from employers’ to government provision and finance. Trainees in most occupations combine workplace training with study at a technical or academic institution. In the former Soviet Union, school and work were always strongly linked from primary school. Germany provides nine out of ten young people not entering higher education with vocational training, and training is planned from national down to locate level through joint committees of government

| A mysterious phenomenon is the ability
of over-water migrants to travel on course. Birds, bees, and other species can
keep track of time without any sensory cues from the outside world, and such
"biological clocks" clearly contribute to their "compass sense." For example,
they can use the position of the Sun or stars, along with the time of day, to
find north. But compass sense alone cannot explain how birds navigate the ocean:
after a flock traveling east is blown far south by a storm, it will assume the
proper northeasterly course to compensate. Perhaps, some scientists thought,
migrants determine their geographic position on the Earth by celestial
navigation, almost as human navigators use stars and planets, but this would
demand of the animals a fantastic map sense. Researchers now know that some
species have a magnetic sense, A. east B. north C. northwest D. south 我来回答: 提交
