Vranje – Assistant Minister of Education, Science and Technological Development, Prof. Gabriela Grujic, PhD, had a meeting in Vranje with directors of secondary schools from all six municipalities of the Pcinj district, during which the model of enrollment in the school year 2021/2022 was discussed.

“The Ministry of Education aims to uniformly establish a dual educational system. Over the past four years, this system was legally regulated at the level of secondary school and university education. It is a system where students acquire competencies for the 21st century," Assistant Minister Grujic said.

“The Ministry has adopted standards for accreditations in the sphere of university education, which means that from October 1, students will be able to study according to the model of dual education. A very important benefit of this type of education is the level of knowledge that students acquire in companies that operate in this area, which will, in the end, make our economy innovative, "she said.

The companies that want to invest in our country raise the issue of the level of education as one of the most important conditions.

“However, the most important thing is that we make it possible for young people to live and work in this region, without leaving their cities and Serbia," the Assistant Minister said.

Until last year, we had 47 educational profiles according to the dual model, and from the next school year we will have five new ones, introduced at the initiative of businessmen, for which qualification standards have been done and curricula are currently being developed. All of them have been brought into line with modern knowledge and modern technology, Prof. Gabrijela Grujić, PhD, said.
