Hamadeh: vocational education graduates ready to participate in Arab reconstruction
In his opening of the vocational and technical state exams on Friday, education minister, Marwan Hamadeh, stressed the importance of vocational education on par with traditional schooling. The general public opinion, Hamadeh said, tends to laud and reinforce the conventional school and university learning, while totally disregarding a vital vocational and training sector that is essential in building a nation and propping up the labor market, (pointing to some 102000 students in the public and private education sectors). The number of students in public vocational institutes is 52000 students, as compared to 50000 students in the private vocational institutes, Hamadeh maintained. The vocational sector is an all-embracing national pillar as it delivers ample skilled human resources and potentials that have done good to the Arab countries. Vocational teaching in Lebanon has contributed to the construction and shaping of the region, and may be asked to participate in the post war reconstruction of neighboring countires, the minister said.
