This is how it should be. But in most cases it isnt. I totally agree that the basics must be learned first and then taking the big parts (as OOP aso). BUT most teachers ran away from "real industry" many years ago. So they dont have any relation to what the industry is today. As an IT specialist, one have to be up to date (IMHO). > - Do a "Basislehrjahr". This is quite similar like the way school way > but exists longer.

I'm taking this way of apprenticeship, the Basislehrjahr. I dont know how it looks in Canton of Zurich, but in Zug they realised that Basislehrjahr was a misstake (it has been in kinda beta-phase the last 3 Years). Now they going to get rid of it and "creating" a new model called "Modularausbildung". (The apprentice has the choice of different modules) We had "Vorgezogene Teilabschlusspr�fungen" last summer. The average marks over 3 Tests and 3 classes was 3.3. Nobody can tell me that it's only the students fault. Many things go wrong at school. Sure, it may be that students are lazier than yesterday. But it's not only the students fault. Look, in the so called "Basislehrjahr" you have IT lessons the first 2 Years, then 2 Years without any IT lesson and then you have your final exams. That can't work. Maybe the next "Modell" is better. I hope so. Otherwise the IT apprenticeship hasn't any future. Just my 2 cents.
