本文质疑参加职业教育和培训 (VET) 是否提供了成功升读英国高等教育 (HE) 的途径。在概述英国政策议程之后，我们对高等教育入学机会的两个相互关联的方面进行了调查：学生对院校的选择和学科的选择。行政数据分析表明，A-level 课程提供了进入更有声望的高等教育机构的主要途径。具有 VET 背景的学生更有可能在 RAE 成绩较低的 92 后大学开始高等教育学习。不同的教育途径也会导致不同的高等教育学科领域，而这些领域又与不同的劳动力市场结果相关。案例研究数据确定了机构和科目选择的高度个性化的决策模式。理性选择模型只能在有限的程度上解释这些选择。需要考虑限制性信息策略和影响个人选择的其他因素，并且学生之间关于科目选择的动机模式存在显着差异。
This paper questions whether participation in vocational education and training (VET) provides a successful progression route into UK higher education (HE). Following an overview of the UK policy agenda two inter‐connected aspects of HE access are investigated: students’ choice of institution and choice of subject. Analysis of administrative data shows that A‐levels provide the major access route into more prestigious HE institutions. Students with VET backgrounds are more likely to start their HE studies at post‐92 universities with lower RAE results. Different educational pathways also lead to different HE subject areas which, in turn, are connected to diverse labour market outcomes. Case study data identify highly individualised decision‐making patterns for institutional and subject choice. Rational choice models can explain these choices only to a limited extent. Restrictive information strategies and other factors affecting individual choices require consideration and there are significant differences in motivational patterns between students regarding their choice of subject.
