The state will pay fees to students who have a contract with an employer for internships and jobs

The state will pay in full or in part the fees of students who have a contract with an employer to provide an internship in the relevant specialty for the period of study and in the workplace after its successful completion. This provides for an ordinance approved by the government, which regulates the conditions for concluding contracts and the method of financing student education.

Annually, the Minister of Education and Science will approve a list of specialties for the training in which funds are provided from the state budget under this Ordinance. The list will be prepared by higher schools, forms of education and number of students for whom full or partial payment of tuition fees is provided. The Council of Ministers, at the proposal of the Ministers through the Minister of Education and Science, will adopt a list of employers registered in the territory of the country, who have the right to conclude contracts with the students by the order of the Ordinance. This list will also indicate the specialties and the number of students for whom the employer has declared readiness to sign a contract. Students who have signed a contract will not pay fees for the time of their studies at the university, and at the same time will have experience with the employer. in his specialty. Upon successful completion, the same students will continue to work for their employer for a minimum of 5 years, during which they will receive remuneration of not less than the average basic salary in the company.

The ordinance is adopted in implementation of the approved amendments to the Higher Education Act, as the main goal is to implement a mechanism for optimizing the relationship between higher education and the needs of the economy and society by stimulating training in important specialties where there is a shortage of highly qualified personnel.
