This series includes country descriptions of national systems of educational and vocational guidance with a brief outline of the organisation and stages of compulsory education; a description of the legal framework; the main national objectives in the area and a presentation of the responsibility divide between administrative authorities and other bodies.

It also explores: the presence of vocational guidance in the curriculum; the formal relations and partnerships with the professional world; the existing services and information available including a list of relevant websites and the level of qualifications and types of training of the staff responsible for these services in and outside schools.

This collection of national descriptions was possible thanks to the collaboration of the national units in the Eurydice Network, the CEDEFOP ReferNet national representatives and EUROGUIDANCE.
