New High School Program to Enhance Job Market Readiness

January 16, 2026

Starting from September 2026, a new direction called 'Applied Learning in Trade and Services' will be introduced in high schools. The goal is to provide necessary knowledge and skills to students who wish to enter the job market immediately after graduation. The program includes new thematic units aimed at preparing students for professional responsibilities. Specifically, it targets students who do not wish to pursue higher education. The program will initially be implemented in a pilot phase across four high schools.
