The Academic Achievement of Craft Apprentices in France and England: Contrasting Systems and Common Dilemmas.
Wolf, Alison; Rapiau, Marie-Therese
Comparative Education, v29 n1 p29-43 1993

In England, educational pathways are less clearly ranked, and apprenticeships are desirable. Reflecting these differences, English craft apprentices scored higher on mathematics tests and showed less occupational variability in scores than their French counterparts. (SV)
