In Germany there is a so-called dual education system, which combines apprenticeships in a company with vocational education at a vocational school in one course. Thus, German students can learn jobs that require formal training such as nursery-school-teacher, hairdresser or retailer.
At my vocational school, which is called Dr.-Walter-Bruch-Schule, I mainly teach students who want to become nursery-school-teachers. There I teach English and educational science.
A typical day in my vocational school starts 7:45 a.m. One lesson is usually 45 min. After two lessons there is a 15 min break. So the first break is at 9:15 a.m. The third lesson starts at 9:30 a.m. and there is another break at 11 a.m. after the fourth lesson. We normally have six lessons on a typical school day, which means that after the sixth lesson, at 12:45, the school day is over. Sometimes there are also afternoon lessons. Especially for older students the school day then ends at 13:40 or 14:25.
