16-19: Some Reflections on Europe and the Reforms.
Halls, W. D.
Comparative Education, v30 n1 p25-29 1994
Despite increased participation of 16- to 19-year olds in postcompulsory education in Europe, the following problems exist: (1) lack of agreement about the design of upper secondary curricula; (2) oversupply of technically qualified students resulting from increased technical and vocational education; (3) underemployment of graduates; and (4) lack of a clear academic or moral purpose for postcompulsory education.
