Today’s youth needs the knowledge to help them make the right decisions about further education. It aims to prepare young people to develop key competencies, recognize their needs, skills and opportunities in the contemporary education system. It will help them shape their ability to recognize and use personal resources and build their own educational and professional paths.

4. Computer competencies
5. Ability to learn

As Petre Drucker said:
„The coming time is the time of a mental worker, who in addition to formal education, has the ability to practice knowledge and the habit of continual learning.”
It is therefore worth preparing young people for the challenges of the modern world by developing their skills and competences.
