The following questions are in the forefront: Which are the challenges faced by companies and schools? How can more companies be encouraged to become more engaged in this project? How can the quality of the curriculum and of the educational system be improved? How can more students be attracted by the vocational education? How can the reluctance existing among the families be prevented, towards the option related to the vocational training? First of all, it’s the youngsters’ turn to publicly speak about their experience and expectations related to the educational system. The event is organized in partnership with the Romanian Ministry of National Education.
