Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2009, Vol 14, Issue 10
Abstract
In any technological development we must always take into account very important set of equations: Better vocational training = more skilled workers = better production = more competitive production = greater employability = reduce unemployment and its effects. The equations clearly show that any technological development requires adequate preparation i.e. education of human resources for this development. Slovenia wishes to base its own development and prosperity mainly on knowledge. Therefore, the change and modification of education system became an imperative. Consequently, the following article deals with the demand: Slovenia has to fulfil in this process of transformation. From the experiences of recent years, it seems clear that the existing education system in Slovenia, as a whole, is perceived as an ailing system that fails to meet the needs of a major portion of the society it serves. Every aspect of the educational process and system must be studied and reconsidered in light of new and different societal expectations. And for these purposes we would like to use all positive experiences from different systems in the world.
