National Training Conference in Tromsø
Better implementation of vocational training was Minister Kristin Halvorsen's key message at the beginning of the National Training Conference in Tromsø.
– Many students and teachers find common subjects in vocational training that hinder students in their career choices. We must do training more motivating. I believe this will contribute to more complete vocational training, says Halvorsen.
It also created a network of teachers at the "hub schools" to be ambassadors for the project. Occasionally, teachers will be gathered from other schools to exchange experiences.
The Minister also pointed out that too many vocational students are struggling with motivation and drop out of high school:
– An important reason for this problem is that many students find common subjects have little relevance to the subject they train in. It can also be a problem that many teachers do not have knowledge about the vocational education's outcomes. To do something about these problems is an urgent need, says Kristin Halvorsen.
