This situation is getting worse year after year, said the advisor for Vocational Education and Training (AAP), Majlinda Rizvanolli-Bajraktari during the first panel within the regional conference, with the topic: "The importance of vocational education and training and the connection with the labor market".
Bajraktari emphasized that the Government prioritizes the treatment of vocational education and training, to give hope to young people.
She emphasized that vocational education and training cannot be successful if there is no real cooperation between the private sector and government institutions.
Meanwhile, Lulzim Aliu, Deputy Minister of Education and Science of North Macedonia said that they have accredited programs for many profiles for the preparation of new professional staff that will serve companies for qualified workers.
"Compared to Kosovo, we in North Macedonia are one step ahead, not that we have established dual education throughout the country, but we are on the right path, and we have taken a significant step because if we compare the statistics of the two recent years, last school year we had 90 parallels with dual education, with 1,400 students, and for this, of course, cooperation with various private sector companies is necessary, and the credit for this goes to the chambers of commerce. Meanwhile, this school year, this number has increased significantly", he said.
Mladen Peraziq, director of the Education Sector in the Chamber of Commerce of Montenegro, said that compared to the past, in Montenegro there are professional staff that enable companies to have modern competitive products.
