Particularly in rural areas, demographic change calls for strategies to safeguard and continuously develop diverse educational provision. Vocational schools offer important potentials for this, not least as a result of linking general and vocational education. Against this backdrop, the question discussed is how strategic development planning and cooperation among stakeholders might enable full utilisation of these potentials within a regional education landscape. The content of the article is underpinned by an exploratory project on the role of vocational schools in local education policy.
