Abstract
A majority of current comparative studies on vocational education in China and Germany emphasize China’s reference to the dual education system of Germany, but pay less attention to the impact of the two countries’ educational tracking (or streaming) on their own development of vocational education. This study adopts the literature research method to explore the impact of basic educational tracking on China’s vocational education system by comparing the differences between China and Germany in basic educational tracking. It is found that China’s basic education tracking has, to some extent, hindered the progress of vocational education due to its disadvantages such as insufficient preparation, late tracking time, and an unbalanced distribution ratio.
