Germany's Ambassador in Bucharest Cord Meier-Klodt on Thursday urged Romania's decision makers to get involved in the development of the dual education system as a real chance for the future of the Romanian society.
The German diplomat showed that dual education is not the end of a promising career, but in fact, someone can set on it a solid foundation for a successful career.
According to him, there are many obstacles to overcome when it comes to steering toward a national dual education network, and a career should be chosen according to the interest and abilities of the child.
"We have to move toward a system that includes everyone, including the less-developed areas of the country, and I think that should be a political objective. And we are sending a political signal in this direction. The synergistic contribution of various players is needed. Nobody can succeed alone in this endeavour. It is for this reason that we have decided to bring together all the significant stakeholders at this conference for the first time," the German official said.
The conference opened in the presence of Romania's interim Education Minister Rovana Plumb; state secretary of the Ministry of National Education Florin Lixandru, other representatives of the relevant institutions and big companies.
