Government proposes amendments to Higher Vocational Education Act
The Government has agreed on the text of the proposed Act Amending the Higher Vocational Education Act and submitted it to the National Assembly for consideration under the shortened procedure. The main objective of the proposed act is to transfer applications for higher vocational programmes to the eVŠ online portal. This will make applications for enrolment uniform for all tertiary education and the application procedure for higher vocational programmes even easier for users. The proposed amendment supports the goal of providing as many electronic services as possible on one website to make it easier for users to find them.
