The development of student's personality and successful social integration and life skills
will ensure the smooth transition from school life to real life situations.
Conditions that allow the student to develop his personality with strong self-perception,
emotional stability, critical and dialectical skill and positive attitude to cooperation self-
motivated personality and a responsible, democratic and free, with social and humanitari-
an principles, without religious and cultural prejudices.
At the same time the teachers have the duty to approach school learning to a fast chang-
ing technologically based market, so the students will develop a new awareness of know-
how and skills necessary to find an employment in areas that might have been struck by
the economic crisis.
They need to acquire the necessary skills that will ensure their employment as soon as
possible after graduation or the life skills necessary to excel in Universities and also help
in the long run, to avoid excluding them for a long period of time from the labor market. It
is also essential to cope with unforeseen changes and become happy workers throughout
their active life.
