Officials are acquainting themselves with modern techniques of establishing education partnership in a five-day workshop in Kribi in the South Region.
The seaside resort town of Kribi in the South Region is the venue of a five-day initiation seminar on education partnership opened last Monday. Organised by the Ministry of Secondary Education through the Support Project for the Reform of Technical and Professional Education (PARETFOP) in collaboration with the African Development Bank (BAD), the workshop brings together technical education officials from across the country as well as representatives from socio-professional organisations. The aim of the workshop is to enable the officials get acquainted with modern techniques of establishing education partnership in view of an efficient support for the government in its policy of increasing education infrastructures.
Speaking during the opening, the Divisional Delegate for Secondary Education for the Ocean Division, Herman Mawendje, said the workshop is a mark of government's willingness to improve and diversify technical and professional training in the country in order to meet the demands of the job market. Partnership, according to him is expected to bring training closer to the job market, help follow up the role of the State and the subsequent change of education policies, create an instrument for regulation of government policy in the area of professional training and bring back confidence between training bodies and employers. Herman Mawendje called on the participants to follow the instructions attentively to make good use of the knowledge they have acquired and to come out with synergies for the realisation of adequate professional training. He also used the occasion to thank the Minister of Secondary Education and development partners for their efforts in the promotion of education in general and technical and vocational training in particular.
