A new project to accelerate dual technical vocational education will be implemented over the next three years in the Republic of Moldova. This will provide students from vocational schools and colleges, as well as middle school graduates, with enhanced opportunities to continue their studies and work concurrently. Currently, dual education includes 45 technical vocational education institutions, which offer vocational training programs in partnership with over 200 economic units, reports IPN.
Highlighting the increasing interest of young people in dual education, Silviu Gincu, head of department within the Ministry of Education and Research, mentioned that this form of study is free for all those who do not hold similar qualifications in the chosen field.
“We have an increasing number of partners getting involved in dual education, and this makes us happy, as we manage to offer young people a future in the Republic of Moldova,” said Silviu Gincu, as quoted in a press release from the ministry.
The state offers young people involved in dual education scholarships starting from 700 lei and dormitory accommodation. The training is free, and the remuneration offered to students starts from 5500 lei, depending on the workload, the authorities specify.
