Forthcoming policy developments

The government considers the modernisation of the public education system and the increase of its efficiency as a key priority. Therefore, it places significant emphasis on the professional and methodological support of teachers, on ensuring safe working conditions for both teachers and students, on the prevention and reduction of school violence, which, beyond individual development, also contributes to the effective operation of educational institutions.

Especially in the field of vocational education the main focus areas are:

• Increasing the involvement of young people in vocational education through personalized career guidance.
• Strengthening the cooperation of institutions to prevent and reduce dropout rates.
• Supporting lifelong learning.

Ongoing debates

The National Assembly is currently discussing the proposal of the Ministry of Culture and Innovation, which would allow students under 30 years old who are married and have children to participate in higher education without paying tuition fees. Additionally, the legislative amendment supports students with children by providing them with individualized study schedules.
