What this article describes is not universal. Maybe it should say "In Australia (or wherever), 'work experience' means ..." Maurreen 17:56, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Deleted duplicated text. It still isn't a great article by any means. The exploitative capitalists bit is just odd and surely POV.

I'm not sure when it was introduced, but I'm not sure it's compulsory. I was told last year I didn't need to go on work experience because I was studying seperate sciences, but I could still go if I wanted to. Titaniapixie (talk) 12:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
In Scotland atleast it is not compulsory, as we just continue normal school day if we don't go on a placement 86.138.172.119 (talk) 15:45, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Communist experience[edit]
In Communist countries studentst were frequently forced to do manual work to become in some way blue-collar workers. The most radical form were the deportations to villages in China during the Cultural revolution Down to the Countryside Movement, Sent-down youth. Is there an English name to such policy? It was praktyki robotnicze in Poland - neither Work experience nor real blue-collar socialisation.Xx236 (talk) 09:52, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
