Three Types of Tightrope Dance in the Comeback Process

Abstract: Fewer than half of the young people attending vocational institutions in Norway complete their education within the allotted five years. Indeed, many of these students have non-linear paths to completion. However, it is not changes in the dropout rate that make this different from earlier generations but the expansion of formal education and the rise of the knowledge society and individualisation. The term “tightrope biographies” is used here to encapsulate why individualisation cannot be thought of in terms o… Show more

“…About half the students who start in upper-secondary education enter a vocational programme. However, dropout rates among vocational students are high, and a large number of students switch from vocational programmes to the third supplementary year in order to gain access to higher education (Bunting, Halvorsen, & Moshuus, 2017;Markussen, Frøseth, Sandberg, Lødding, & Borgen, 2011). Most higher education institutions in Norway are state financed and free of charge for the students.…”

“…Concerns related to the historically territorially bounded national education systems and the Europeanized VET programs are understanding the gaps in vocational skill development supportive of global markets. (Bunting et al, 2017) While the knowledge society has increased worldwide participation in education, in the global competition for jobs, the apparent value of investing in knowledge building has largely failed to materialize. Instead, young people are faced with a high-skill, low-wage labor market.…”
