As you know, we are launching a brand new phase in line with Europe's modern models, primarily those tried and tested in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and designed to create a new system of vocational education.
In particular:
• Firstly, the integration of the middle level in vocational education, that is, an opportunity to receive an academic certificate and advance from vocational education to the level of higher education.
• An opportunity for validating vocational education credits at the level of higher education.
• The dual form of dual education based on apprenticeship will be defined and prioritized.
• Opportunities for implementing joint and exchange programs.
• A system of vocational training and retraining will be established, and diverse educational programs will be carried out for both youth and adults, with the goal in the former case being to award qualification and, in the latter case, the development of individual competences, enhancement of knowledge, retraining, and so on.
• Systemic approaches for inclusive education will be introduced.
• State-run schools of vocational education will be authorized to sell products/services developed in the process of implementing economic activities, including the process of learning, which is also very important.
• A system for teachers' training and career advancement will be established.
• Opportunities for the recognition of informal and formal education will be created, which is very important.
• The draft law is in full concordance with European standards, including the obligations under the Association Agreement.
I would like to ass the Minister of Education, and not only him, to make comments on this issue today in the Media Room, because it is a very important issue.
