Education, Research and Development Sample Clauses

Education, Research and Development. In the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the primary and secondary levels of education are mandatory and the responsibility was transferred to the municipal level as a consequence of the decentralisation process27. Education of the ethnic communities, in their mother tongue, is a constitutional right and available as such in the system of primary and secondary education28 as well as in the higher education. According to the Constitution, “The members of the communities have the right to education in their language in the primary and secondary education cycles as determined by law. In schools where education is carried out in another language, the Macedonian language is also studied”29. The cross-border area is reported to be well covered by educational infrastructure. 174,021 pupils attend primary and secondary education. However, recent studies conducted in border regions report a widespread and alarming deterioration of the situation in primary and secondary education and “call for an urgent improvement of the conditions30. Local self- government, according to the process of decentralisation and its jurisdiction in the education area, should play a crucial role in the process of improving the local educational institutions. Education in all regions of Kosovo is provided on three levels: primary, secondary and university education. 226,981 pupils attending primary education receive teaching in 670 schools in the whole eligible and adjacent area. There are 78 secondary schools with around 62,800 pupils31. The average number of pupils per class is between 40-50, which compared to the national norms of 30-32 pupils/class, makes the teaching conditions difficult and impacts negatively on the quality of education. Due to insufficient schools facilities, most of the schools operate in three shifts, while there are two shifts per day in the villages, on a rotating attendance schedule. Primary and secondary education is provided in Albanian and (depending on the concentration of ethic minorities) in Serbian, Bosnian, and Turkish. 27 Law on local self government adopted in 2002 28 According to the change of the constitution after the conflict of 2001 29 Article 48 of the Constitution of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 30 Source: “Tetovo, Economic status and development”, SEE University, 2008. 31 Source: Statistical Office of Kosovo-Department of Social Statistics In the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the programme area comprises two state un...

Education, Research and Development. The educational system in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina is similar with compulsory primary education and non obligatory se- condary and high education, which is mainly performed in public schools. There are 382 primary and 184 secondary schools on the B&H side of the border and 892 primary and 269 secondary schools on the Croatian side. The basic situation in primary and secondary edu- cation is satisfactory with an adequate number of public schools. However, there is also a number of functional difficulties such as destroyed/inadequate infrastructure, lack of qualified teaching staff (for example IT teachers) and high costs of transport for students from rural areas. Secondary school attendance is relatively low on the B&H side of the border (only 68% of children in age 15 – 19) while most of the inhabitants have secondary school degree on the Croatian side of the border. As for higher education, there is a low level of university and high school degrees in the entire programming area. A positive trend is the increase in the number of regional higher education instituti- ons (universities, faculties and polytechnics), and greater diversity of undergraduate programmes they offer. At present there are regional universities, faculties and higher education institutions in Bihać, Banja Luka, Prijedor, Laktaši, Doboj, Mostar, Tuzla and Trebinje in B&H, and Universities in Split and Zadar, and Faculties and other higher school institutions in Slavonski Xxxx, Šibenik, Dubrovnik, Sisak, Vukovar, Gospić, Petrinja, Knin and Karlovac. The number of people in education dropped in the past 10 years ma- inly due to demographic decline.

  • Workforce Development MPC’s technical training program is having a major impact in the region. Online modules, short courses, webinars, and on site/videoconferencing events are reaching state and local transportation department employees and tribal transportation planners. By harnessing the capabilities of the four LTAP centers located at the MPC universities and the multimedia capabilities of the Transportation Learning Network (which was founded and is partly funded by MPC) more than 76 technical training events were offered in the second half of 2015. These training modules and short courses are critical to transportation agencies that need to improve or renew the skills of engineering technicians and other frontline workers. Many MPC courses or training events result in the certification of workers. Even when certification is not required, TLN’s online learning management systems allow employees and employers to set learning goals and monitor progress towards these goals. MPC is making another major impact in workforce development. Altogether, 57 graduate students are working on MPC research projects under the tutelage of faculty researchers. These graduate students represent the researchers and technical analysts of tomorrow. Without the MPC program and the stipend funds that it provides, these students may not be specializing in transportation; but, instead would be seeking career opportunities in other fields. The MPC research program allows faculty to mentor graduate students while allowing the students to work on projects for federal and state transportation agencies—thereby, gaining valuable practical experience.
