Abstract

The Education System and Business.
One of the key objectives of public authorities is to bring about the necessary closer link between the education system and the economic sector, an objective which is pursued at both national and local levels. In addition to the already established system of apprenticeships, the new concept of sandwich-courses, run by schools in conjunction with businesses, has now been introduced. The broad policy of consultation between State and the professions is being pursued through bodies comprising representatives from the economic and the education sectors, albeit that their respective influence is not always equal. The relationship between State and the business sector is reinforced by the important role played by the regions in professional training. The success of sandwich-courses has led to a "modernisation" of the system of apprenticeships. One must, however, remain cautious ; professional education has been insufficiently re-evaluated because of its lack of a coherent system. Perhaps the quinquennial law will put an end to this situation of uncertainty.
