Since 2019, the upgrade of Vocational Education and Training has been at the center of educational reform initiatives in Greece, with an important milestone being Law 4763/2020 which is based on an integrated strategy for vocational education, training and lifelong learning. 

 

Another recent milestone is Law 5082/2024 that further strengthens the National Vocational Education and Training System established by the aforementioned Law 4763/2020. The new Law foresees: a) the expansion of cooperation between vocational education and vocational training and b) the substantial improvement of the synergy between the different levels of the National Qualifications Framework, with the ultimate goal of upgrading the knowledge, competences and skills of graduates, as well as of ensuring the effectiveness in terms of the smooth integration of young people into the local society and economy and consequently into the national economy. 

 

In addition, Law 5082/2024 supports a more direct and effective link of Vocational Education and Training to the real needs of the labour market through the meaningful participation of social partners in their planning both at central/sectoral and regional level.
