| Popis: | This chapter focuses on the political construction of upper secondary educational transitions by comparing the problematisation of and the solutions proposed by policymakers and educational stakeholders in Barcelona and Madrid. By means of critical policy analysis and sociology of education policy, this chapter highlights the dynamic and conflicting nature of the upper secondary field and the frictions related to its functions, institutional organisation and different forms of provision. Results demonstrate the subordination of the vocational track to the academic one both in discursive and institutional terms. It also proves a strong problematisation of VET in terms of a naturalised conception of the labour market and the skills demand. Overall, the chapter demonstrates the political nature of educational transitions by highlighting the multiple inequalities that traverse the conception, organisation and provision of the upper secondary educational tracks and also the political and institutional mechanisms that legitimise them. |
