THE IMPACT OF ACCELERATING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DUAL EDUCATION

Abstract

The trends in the development of the economic situation require authorities to identify quick and effective measures to ensure the labor market is supplied with a qualified workforce. In 2024, under the aegis of the Ministry of Education and Research, the authorities focused their resources on accelerating the implementation of dual education. This article reflects the main results of the acceleration of dual education implementation in the Republic of Moldova and provides an overview of dual education through the lens of four pillars: policy framework, funding, institutional framework, and human resource management in dual education. We believe that the results presented in this paper are relevant for both national public authorities and at the international level. We consider that accelerating the implementation of dual education represents an example of best practices in the implementation of educational policies.
