Challenges for educational policy in first and further education brought about by structural changes, migration, and internationalisation » Dr. Arthur Schneeberger
The data gained from the last few censuses, but also international comparisons of education and concepts in educational policy (both of the EU and the OECD) make it possible for us to think about the development of the Austrian educational system, as well as the challenges it faces, so as to prepare for the knowledge society which is to come.The present article investigates the structural changes in both the economy and in jobs on the one hand, as well as the growing participation in education and demographic changes (fewer youths, increasing percentage of youths with a mother tongue other than German) on the other hand, analysing their impact on the need for skilled staff, as well as their influence on them being available.
Furthermore, the results of the international PISA ‘basic education tests’ of 2003 are put in the context of a comparative analysis of the various educational systems and their current trends. Structural data is intended to provide an empirical basis to discuss and group the test results; the data helps understand how different the national educational systems are –which resemble qualification strategies related to the labour market.

Internationally speaking, Austria offers only slim job possibilities in the sports sector. This is mainly due to a low degree of professionalism, but is also due to legal limitations regarding work in this field. The educational offers, by contrast, have reached a remarkable level both as regards their quantity and quality.

Components of the educational expansion » Mag. Kurt Schmid
In the course of the last 15 years, educational flow in Austria has been changing significantly. Student numbers have changed especially in upper secondary level, but also lower secondary level has seen a shift of focus between the respective school types. What role did the demographic development play in the change of absolute pupil/student numbers, and to what extent can it be put down to changes in the choice of school types (or in the types of schools offered)? The ibw’s model to project educational streams provides an answer to these questions.
