Iceberg further education
Achievements of the graduation related further education for the mastery of transitions in the educational system
Like with an iceberg, the achievements of further education are to a large extent not quite visible for the public perception. Among these are the activities of the facilitation of transitions in the educational system. The author has, within the frame of a dissertation, estimated how many certificates and graduations the German further education produces yearly. The volume is quite large with 720 000. Further education has compensatory as well as complementary functions compared to the secondary area and tertiary area. Certificates comprehensive from different institutions are still too infrequent in further education.
