In March 2014, the development of modular vocational education programmes has been launched in 14 sectors by using validated Guidelines. The modular approach will allow for initial vocational education to prepare students mainly in basic professions, but for continuing education to provide specialization without duplicating common professional competences for sector and lifelong learning competences. Therefore the continuity and systematic approach to vocational education will be provided. For example, in the energy sector for initial vocational education is developed programme \u201cElectric technician\u201d, but for continuous education \u2013 programmes \u201cElectric installations technician\u201d, \u201cElectrical network technician\u201d and \u201cIndustrial electrical engineering technician\u201d. Overall, 52 modular vocational education programmes development is started, 20 of them are initial vocational education programmes and 32 \u2013 continuing vocational education programmes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><em> Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/visc.gov.lv\/profizglitiba\/info_esf.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">National Centre for Education<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the fourth year when Latvia ESF project \u201cDevelopment of sectoral qualifications system and increasing the efficiency and quality of vocational education\u201d (01.12.2010-31.08.2015) is being implemented.
