Background and Funding

Background

​

Several longitudinal studies about school-to-work transition exist in Switzerland and other countries. However, there are no school-based longitudinal studies that analyze educational pathways from primary school to dual-track VET and tertiary education or work. The study «Effects of Tracking» (German: Wirkungen der Selektion, WiSel III) continues earlier research on transition from primary school to secondary school (WiSel I and WiSel II), so educational pathways from  primary school until five years after graduation from secondary school can be analyzed.

Funding

​

WiSel III will be conducted from 2020 to 2024 and is funded by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).
