Speaking during a New Year visit to the Ministry of Education and Training, the President said the education system must reform its approach to optimise creativity and start-up skills. Cooperation between training facilities and enterprises must be strengthened, and new training models must be applied in combination with the restructuring of training programmes to produce a contingent of “global engineers,” he suggested. Closer links should also be forged between training facilities and science-technology organisations and research institutes.
