Two years of discussions have led to proposals for a ‘dual’ approach of education at schools, which calls for secondary school students to gain practical work experience in specific fields with companies that have signed an agreement with their school. Representatives of employers, trade unions, ministries and regions discussed the rules in the government’s council for vocational education. The related law should come into force as of 2015, and should create legal conditions for schools that will join the scheme in September 2015.
