A dual education system combines apprenticeships in a company and vocational education at a vocational school in one course. This system is practiced in several countries, notably Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Switzerland, but also Portugal, Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Australia and Egypt, and for some years now in China and other countries in Asia.〔http://www.hss.de/homepage-e.shtml〕 In the ''Duales Ausbildungssystem'' young German people can learn one of 356 (2005) apprenticeship occupations (''Ausbildungsberufe''), such as e.g. Doctor's Assistant, Dispensing Optician or Oven Builder. The precise skills and theory taught are strictly regulated and defined by national standards: An ''Industriekaufmann'' (Industrial Manager) has always acquired the same skills and taken the same courses in production planning, accounting and controlling, marketing, HR management, trade laws, etc. Especially in southern Germany this model is also used for a special college system called ''Duale Hochschule''. In France, dual education (''formation en alternance'') has undergone a boom since the 1990s, with information technology being the greatest draw. ==Apprenticeship section== As one part of the dual education course, students are trained in a company for three to five days a week. The company is responsible for ensuring that students get the standard quantity and quality of training set down in the training descriptions for each trade. In Germany, this practical training may be complemented by more practical lessons at workshops run by the guilds and chamber of commerce, in order to compensate for the bias caused by training at only one company. These extra courses usually take three or four weeks a year. The time spent at vocational school is approximately 60 days a year, in blocks of one or two weeks at a time spread out over the year. In France, the same amount of time is spent in practical training and theory, with the following possible systems: *2.5 days in a company, 2.5 days at school, *one week in a company, one week at school, *six months in a company, six months at school. French companies must provide a tutor or other person responsible for the students, or a human resources officer to deal with them. Their duties may involve daily tutoring and/or targeted training. French apprentices on the dual education course are paid a certain percentage of the minimum wage for the job they are learning. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「dual education system」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
