Apprenticeship training deserves support and its current system is untenable, he said. "Our vision is that apprentice trainees should be prepared to qualify in several closely-related professions," he said. Deputy Education Minister Eva Bartonova, nominated to her post by the ODS, said at a press conference today that regions should be involved in the debate on the planned changes. Bartos said the number of apprentice school graduates was constantly falling and employers lack qualified workforce. He said that companies should also be involved in the changes.
The state should free the companies that would employ apprentices during their practice from the payment of health and social insurance for them, Bartos added. ODS chairman and Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek said that no party was able to fulfil one hundred percent of its goals within a coalition government and that it was important to point out what goals the ODS would pursue if it gained 51 percent of the vote in next elections. He said that he supported the introduction of postponed payment of tuition fees at public universities. Everyone who protests against the postponed payments protests against children from working class families being able to study at universities, Topolanek said. Before the press conference, Topolanek presented, along with Education Minister Ondrej Liska (junior government Green Party, SZ) a plan of changes in university education. Topolanek and Liska pointed out at the press conference that the current government would not introduce tuition fees.
