The Association of Catholic Entrepreneurs (BKU) is calling for significant reinforcement of vocational education and training (VET) to benefit the economy and society.

Germany has a strong skill development system. The country's 15‑year‑old students performed above the OECD average in the last (2018) edition of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), continuing a trend of significant improvement since PISA's first edition in 2000.

The German-Greek collaboration in vocational education and training has a "solid foundation" and is conducted "on equal terms for the benefit of both countries".
