Contexto In 2017, Serbia adopted the Law on Dual education and entrepreneurship. The law faces some weaknesses, which are foreseen to be addressed through this project, in a transition period that has been envisaged by the Law. The project will support the establishment of a monitoring and evaluation system of the law, and the development of tools needed for an efficient reform implementation.

Resultados de las fases anteriores:   For Switzerland, this is a new project, as so far it has not been involved in Policy Advice activities related to dual VET. However, it builds on previous successful interventions. Most referential previous results were achieved through the SDC Private Sector Development Program, through which, 7 companies created a private sector responsive curricula with a Technical School in Serbia, which was approved by the Ministry of Education. This model has been replicated at the national level.
