According to many company bosses, this makes them both expert and flexib

9、le. Because German jobs are fairly secure, many employees invest time in learning new skills. Companies invest in teaching them, toofor example, to use computers to design parts-because their workers are not like to quit.Moreover, basic education seems to be getting better. The first PISA study, pub

10、lished in 2001, in which German children did poorly, caused much national soul-searching. Germanys position in the OECD rankings has improved a great deal in the past few years.Even so, the system has flaws. Some worry, for example, that the stronger general education is needed to equip young German

11、s to change trades should demand for their specific expertise dry up.A bigger concern is that early selection fails children form poor and immigrant families, who are likeliest to attend the least academic schools and to miss out on apprenticeships. Partly for this reason, there is a large group of

12、students at the bottom of the rankingswhich explains why the German average is still below standard.Some think that this may eventually cost the economy. Ludger Wossmann, of the Ifo Institute at Munich University, reckons that the best long-run predictor of a countrys economic growth rate is the per

13、formance of its children in comparative tests in science, math and so forth.

18、n Education D. The Training System of German WorkforceYou hear the refrain all the time: the U. S. economy looks good statistically, but it doesnt feel good.
