The education systems in Germany and Switzerland are characterized by an early differentiation between educational pathways, with different courses of study varying different levels of requirements (tracking). Furthermore, both countries also have a highly differentiated system of vocational education and training which provides young people with the opportunity for a relatively seamless transition into qualified employment. On the other hand, there is regular empirical evidence of significant origin-related disparities in educational success in both countries. Given the similarities in the structure of the two education systems, a comparison between the two countries can provide valuable insights into whether the different school learning and development created by segregation at secondary level have similar or different effects on post-compulsory education pathways in the two countries.
