Facilitating the transition of grade IX pupils from lower to upper secondary school

With a pupil centered approach, this project which is supported by Solidar Suisse and MED in Peja, aims to provide efficient career guidance services for grade IX pupils in the municipality of Peja. Pupils will be provided with methods and instructions that enable them to make a well-informed decision about their career, respectively, upper secondary school profile, depending on the industry and the occupation they aspire to have.

In addition to the individual well-being of pupils, the project has also an impact on the education system and the labor market. By reflecting on career steps and introducing all upper secondary schools’ profiles, pupils are encouraged to consider vocational education as well. This way, through the promotion of vocational schools, we mediate the liaison with the labor market.
