What do you think is the most important part of the dual vocational training system?

I think basically that education must be selective, somemone should go to university, someone should go to work. Dual system ist going in this direction: if you want to study, you like books you go to university, so you don’t go to vocational training or work. When you don’t want to go to university you go to vocational training and still get a good eduation.

What chances do you see in promoting the dual vocational training system?

The problem in Italy is: if you don’t own a diploma you count nothing – so everyone wants to go to university – why shouldn’t we go to work instead of going to school? Then you get paid for learning!
The only possibility to force this is to change the tax system, that’s a huge problem in Italy!
