MOSTAR, Mar 26 (FENA) - The Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the Herzegovina-Neretva County (HNC), Rasid Hadzovic, in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce of the City of Mostar - Association of Entrepreneurs, organized a meeting of the Council for Vocational Education and Training (VET).
On that occasion, Minister Hadzovic said that today's meeting dealt with secondary vocational education with the aim to make parents and children familiar with possibility for employment through VET schools or secondary vocational education.
"We are talking about the idea of schooling children for the economy, not for employment bureaus," Minister Hadzovic said.
Talking about deficit professions in the HNC region, Hadzović said that the research conducted together with the Chamber of Commerce of Mostar showed that a large number of educated staff from the field of construction, mechanical engineering and catering lack.
Currently 120 cooks and 180 waiters are lacking in the HNC area, as well as 300 CNC operators, a large number of galvanizers, welders, construction workers, carpenters, masonries and a large number of skilled workers. We feel that we have the ability to educate our children well because the beginning of vocational education does not mean that it is the end. Every child can later continue to study and go to college if wishes so - Minister Hadzovic said.
He pointed out that it was important to inform parents and children, so at the Secondary Schools Fair, scheduled for April 16 and 17, children and parents will have the opportunity to get information not only on high schools but also the professions they can pursue after completing formal education.
Minister Hadzovic added that it was necessary to focus on curriculum changes, as well as on drafting new legal frameworks.
Vjenceslav Leko, President of the Chamber of Commerce of Mostar City, said that the VET Council meeting represents a small step forward in connecting schooling and economy.
He pointed out a great disproportion between the demand for occupations and skills of those who are looking for job.
- Many of our members of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as the business entities of the city of Mostar, are very interested in this project, hoping for a positive solution to the problem. The problem is very complex, but with the good cooperation of all interested parties, it can be solved - Leko concluded.
