A SKILLS BEYOND
SCHOOL REVIEW OF
SWITZERLAND
Skills beyond School, the OECD Review of Postsecondary
Vocational Education and Training
Strengths

• Employers and professional associations are
  engaged with and actively contribute to
  professional education and training (PET). The
  system is highly responsive to labour market
  needs.
• Policy development has a strong institutional
  leadership in the Federal Office for Professional
  Education and Technology (OPET), allowing
  consensus among stakeholders to be balanced by
  policy development and reform.
Strengths

• The system offers a flexible and effective
  response to diverse student requirements,
  with part-time, evening, weekend and
  modular provision.
• Work-based learning is generally well
  integrated into PET programmes, with
  work linked to study for part-time
  students, and substantial internships for
  full-time students.
Strengths

• The professional exams effectively link
  upskilling to recognition of prior learning.
• The PET system is well articulated with
  upper secondary VET, offering a wide
  range of progression opportunities for
  graduate apprentices.
Strengths

• Teachers and trainers in professional
  colleges are well prepared both in their
  vocational field and in pedagogy.
• While international recognition of PET
  programmes and qualifications remains a
  challenge, it can build on the already
  established high status of certain
  programmes.
Challenges and Recommendations

• There are some potential financial and
  non-financial barriers to access to PET,
  and government financial support may be
  biased towards academic tertiary
  education.
  – On a pilot basis, explore whether a loan and
    grant scheme would remove an access
    barrier to participation in PET.
Challenges and Recommendations

• In contrast to most other sectors of education
  and training, inter-cantonal arrangements for
  funding PET are haphazard, leading to
  confusion, unfairness and inefficiency.
   – As already envisaged by the Swiss
     authorities, implement an effective inter-
     cantonal financial agreement allowing for
     consistent and co-ordinated funding across
     cantons in support of an effective PET
     market.
Challenges and Recommendations

• Information on the quality and costs of
  PET courses is inadequate, and there are
  quality weaknesses in some areas.
  – Collect and disseminate better information
    from PET providers on course quality and
    costs. Encourage industry self-regulation of
    preparatory courses to ensure high and
    consistent standards.
Challenges and Recommendations

• Globalisation is putting a number of different
  pressures on the Swiss PET system, intensifying
  the need for international recognition of Swiss
  PET qualifications and demanding new higher
  level and sometimes globally defined
  competencies as part of many jobs.
  – Respond actively to globalisation and technological change by:
    i) improved permeability and collaboration between PET and
    academic tertiary education; and ii) strengthened international
    network building on sectoral and professional college levels.
Challenges and Recommendations

• Numeracy and literacy are of increasing
  importance in professional occupations, and the
  PET system, alongside other parts of the Swiss
  education system need to address them more
  effectively.
  – Encourage a stronger emphasis on numeracy and
    literacy in professional colleges, especially by
    introducing targeted measures for remediating basic
    skills gaps identified on entry.
Skills beyond School Reviews

• Increasingly countries look beyond secondary school to
  more advanced qualifications to provide the skills
  needed in many of the fastest growing technical and
  professional jobs in OECD economies. The OECD study,
  Skills beyond School, is addressing the range of policy
  questions arising, including funding and governance,
  matching supply and demand, quality assurance and
  equity and access. The study will build on the success of
  the previous OECD study of vocational education and
  training Learning for Jobs which examined policy
  through 17 country reviews and a comparative report.
Skills beyond School Reviews

• Full country policy reviews are being conducted in
  Austria, Denmark, Egypt, Germany, Israel, Korea, the
  Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom
  (England), and the United States (with case studies of
  Florida, Maryland and Washington State). Shorter
  exercises leading to an OECD country commentary will
  be undertaken in Belgium (Flanders), Canada, Iceland,
  Romania, Spain, Sweden and in Northern Ireland and
  Scotland in the United Kingdom. Background reports
  will be prepared in all these countries, and in France,
  Hungary and Mexico. Further information is available on
  the OECD website www.oecd.org/education/vet

Background reports will be prepared in all these countries, and in France, Hungary and Mexico. Further information is available on the OECD website www.oecd.org/education/vet
