!!!Polytechnischer Lehrgang Polytechnischer Lehrgang, one-year course compulsory for students of the ninth grade who do not attend upper secondary schools; introduced in 1962; serves the dual purposes of further general education and vocational orientation. The system makes use of the experience gained with the "Einjaehrige Lehrkurse fuer Schulentlassene" (one-year courses for school leavers, introduced in 1903). Despite many reforms and changes the system has remained open to criticism. %%language [Back to the Austrian Version|AEIOU/Polytechnischer_Lehrgang|class='wikipage austrian'] %% [{FreezeArticle author='AEIOU' template='Lexikon_1995_englisch'}] [{ALLOW view All}][{ALLOW comment All}][{ALLOW edit FreezeAdmin}]
