National councilor for thirteen years and federal head of price surveillance for four years, Rudolf Strahm has always been a great defender of vocational training. In 2016, he released The mirage of long studies at Editions Slatkine. This book was a great success in German-speaking Switzerland (more than 6,000 sales) but only regarding a hundred copies were sold in French-speaking Switzerland. The child from Lauperswil (BE) gives his opinion on what he considers to be a Röstigraben.
