The Ministry of National Education is preparing a radical change in the education system. According to the new model, high school education is planned to be reduced to 3 years, while the change is aimed to direct students to the university or profession earlier. Thus, a one -year preparation period can be created after high school. In academic high schools, the density of the course will be increased in Science, Anatolian and Social Sciences High Schools. On the other hand, applied training in vocational and technical high schools will be highlighted. Especially for vocational high schools, the adaptation of the “Dual System” model in Germany to Türkiye is on the agenda. In this system, students will spend theoretical education at school three days a week, while practicing two days in businesses. Thus, the cooperation of industry-school will be strengthened.
Need for technical staff
Ilhan Sevin, who evaluates the new system, said that the most important source of Türkiye is the manpower, “It has emerged that the idea that the university is opened with each or everyone is a university graduate. The employment problem of university graduates, the need for technical and intermediate staff can be increased.
The number of qualified vocational high schools that can be preferred by students who have high scores from the high school entrance exam should be increased. Sevin, “strengthening of ties between sectors related to vocational high schools, Internship, foreign language facilities and alternatives are important. Those who have completed vocational training should be given the opportunity for those who will continue to learn higher education about their field, “he said.
What will the system bring?
Doğuş University Vocational School Public Relations and Promotion Program President Assoc. Dr. İlknur Doğu Öztürk said: “The advantage of the system, the advantage of the system, the application of the theoretical knowledge learned in the school very quickly and creates the basis for transforming information into skills. On the one hand, it will create a group of labor force experienced in the field. with In case of international validity of diplomas, the possibility of employment for the labor force It also carries its potential to make it more global. Another positive situation is the ability to reduce the number of unemployed university graduates. “
Does inequality create?
Öztürk pointed out that the students should be directed to the area where they are concerned with the right guidance and touched upon the inequality in the standards of industrial institutions. Öztürk said, “In this training -oriented system, every company is not in the same quality and equipment, so this can create inequality between students. The employer’s potential to see this system as cheap labor and the potential to see the student unqualified is a basic criticism of the system. The fact that school -age children spend more than school at work and lost the clarity of the border between student and child workers requires looking at this system by questioning. Especially in the age of inexperienced and low attention to the age of children who can be counted in high risk of students in high risk, occupational health and safety is necessary to draw attention to the obligations, “he said.
