The admission campaign for vocational education is coming to an end in Belarus. This year, it is planned to accept about 28.000 applicants, and 38.600 children are expected to attend colleges at the level of secondary special education. The largest number of places are allocated in the engineering, manufacturing and construction industries. This year, on behalf of the Head of State, the term of study in most specialties was reduced to 3-3.5 years. This will allow children with secondary specialized education to get higher education in a shorter period of time.
