The Perspectives of the Dual Model of Education

Enterprises that train specialists in the dual education system will receive tax incentives. The Supreme Council adopted the appropriate amendments to the law "On the unified social tax and compulsory insurance contribution". Dual training is the joint training of specialists by vocational education organizations and enterprises of different forms of ownership. An enterprise can conclude an agreement with an educational institution for the training of the necessary specialists.

Practice-oriented approach to training workers and engineering specialties has shown its effectiveness in recent years. The state is interested in the development of this form of education and supports enterprises that train specialists in demand today.

The dual education system in the current conditions solves several problems at once. Part of the cost of financing the vocational education system goes to the employer. This saves money from the state budget. The dual training model allows for enterprises to ensure that they provide themselves with qualified personnel.

The dual system of training specialists is widely used in the modern world. For example, 25% of enterprises operate according to a dual scheme in Germany. The student not only receives a diploma of professional education, but also undergoes paid internship at the enterprise.

9 organizations of secondary vocational education and about 30 industrial and agricultural enterprises were involved in the dual education system in Pridnestrovie at the end of 2020. Training takes place in 18 professions and specialties.

The rate of the unified social tax for those who went through the dual education system and got a job at an enterprise within a year will be reduced by half - from 25% to 12% from January 1, 2022. The same tax credit will apply to mentors. The Supreme Council adopted the amendments to the law in final reading. The document has been sent to the President for signature.
