Education Ministry Launches Lifelong Learning Policy, Warns Students About Registration Deadline
Listen to the story
The Ministry of Education and Higher Education has launched a new lifelong learning policy, encouraging people to keep learning throughout their lives, not only during school years.
At the same time, the ministry has issued an important message to students taking the preparatory certificate, a school exam taken before high school.
The ministry said some students have not yet completed their registration form, which includes their personal data.
It described this as the final warning before the deadline for registration closes.
According to the ministry, students who miss the deadline will have only themselves to blame, since enough time and notice have already been given.
The ministry also shared instructions to help students correctly complete the form and avoid mistakes.
Officials stressed that families and students should check the requirements carefully and act quickly.
The lifelong learning policy appears to be part of a wider effort by the ministry to modernize education and encourage continuous skill-building beyond formal schooling.
No further details were given about how the lifelong learning policy will be applied in schools or universities.
The ministry did not specify the exact registration deadline or the number of students affected.
This announcement reflects ongoing efforts to improve communication between the ministry and students during exam season.
