Five technical schools participating in the project were selected in a joint open call announced by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia and GIZ. These schools have shown and documented that, among the schools that applied for the call, they are the most successful in the implementation of dual education, as well as that they have experience in organizing adult education activities or non-formal trainings. During the selection process, the territorial distribution of schools and the development of industry in certain regions were also taken into account.
Having in mind the lack of labor force in the field of tourism and the recognized potential for synergy with the project “EU for Cultural Heritage and Tourism”, DECIDE project included one school verified for trade, catering and tourism – School of Economics and Trade Zajecar.
