In order to advance ICT skills in the education system, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation.
The main focus of the cooperation is the support of the Ministry in the implementation of dual learning for ICT profiles in public IAAPs, based on the model approved by MESTI.
This agreement, among other things, provides:

Also, it foresees the promotion of ICT professions and VET institutions that provide the profiles at the country level, the provision of training and mentoring sessions for teachers of the ICT profiles of the respective VET institutions.
