Russia Enhances Vocational Education for Better Labor Market Adaptation
Mikhail Prisyazhny, First Deputy Minister for Education and Science, has introduced changes to vocational education in Russia. The specific region is not mentioned, but discussions relate to Yakutia. The updates align with federal laws and aim to enhance labor market adaptation.
Previously, initial professional education offered short-term training in vocational schools and lyceums. Since 2012, this has been integrated into secondary professional education. Now, graduates receive multiple working professions simultaneously, aiding their transition into the labor market.
The main law of the republic ensures educational concepts align with the federal law 'On Education in the Russian Federation'. This guarantees accessibility, budget places, and scholarship support for certain student categories. Employers are encouraged to conclude target agreements, guaranteeing future employment and attracting young people to practical training.
These changes aim to improve the republic's vocational education system. By integrating initial professional education into secondary levels, graduates gain multiple skills, aiding their employment prospects. The 'Professionalism' project offers additional support for students studying on a paid basis, including practical training and extra scholarships. The republic's Constitution will specify that higher education is guaranteed and accessible on a competitive basis.
