Introduction of 5b Direction for Immediate Student Entry into the Job Market

August 11, 2026

Starting in September, six high schools will introduce the new 5b direction aimed at facilitating students' immediate entry into the job market. Designed by the Ministry of Education, this direction will provide knowledge and skills needed for professions that lack existing educational programs. It targets students who wish to work right after graduation, as well as those with a migrant background. The 5b direction includes 12 new curricula and promotes applied learning processes. The program also maintains access to higher education for interested students.
