Feasiblity study in classifying schools : Cooperation project IAB/BA Central Office (SP III 22)

Abstract

"The project has assessed whether a classification of secondary schools with regard to their success in leading school-leavers to an apprentice training or a comparable training scheme is possible. The approach intended to use the same methods as were used in the classification of regional labour markets. For this feasibility study, process data from the Federal Employment Agency (BA) were used as well as school statistics from the Federal Laender which were involved. <br> For a large number of young people who were found in the BA systems VerBIS and COMPAS.NT we succeeded in identifying their former schools. Comparing this information with school leaver statistics showed that the data could have been used for our purposes. In the end, however, we came to the conclusion that it was not possible to link these data to a target indicator. Despite good results in creating a data set with school related data, we thus found that it was not possible to classify schools according to the classification of regional labour markets."
