29 August 2019 - In the past couple of years, secondary vocational schools have been arousing great interest in Montenegro. It is interesting that even the top-performing students opt for secondary vocational schools.
"Framework data on high school enrollment are at last year’s level," said the spokesperson for the Ministry of Education Milica Lekić, CdM reports.
Lekić pointed out that around 1500 students will be attending third-degree programs this year. That means that enrollment has doubled.
"As far as vocational schools are concerned, students were mostly interested in programs in the field of electrical engineering, tourism, medicine, transport, and hospitality. We are very glad to see that the key message of the Ministry of Education has been interpreted properly – children with vocational aspirations should not be afraid to pursue their goals," stressed out Lekić.
Enrollment data in the Construction school "Marko Radević" in Podgorica appears to be quite interesting. Thirteen top-performing students have applied. Around ten students who have all A grades applied for the program - Architectonic technician.
One of the curiosities is the school of Electrical Engineering "Vaso Aligrudić". Eleven valedictorians and 14 excellent students applied for the mobile application program.
"Scholarships for students who have chosen deficient qualifications have been awarded - a total of 700," pointed out Lekić.
Scholarships will be awarded to students for the qualifications requested in the specific area. This scholarship system will cover 20 municipalities.
"In the forthcoming school year, we will continue to cooperate with employers in the domain of dual education. Last year we had 570 students in the dual education system. This year, we expect 800 students," concluded Lekić.
