Education Ministry plans for getting a return on its investment in students
The Education Ministry (MEN) has developed a plan to encourage students to
work in the public sector. MEN says the state pays for the education of
future doctors, lawyers and teachers, but they often go to work in the
private sector in positions often not directly related to their chosen field
of study. The ministry has come up with an idea to subsidize the education
of such students in return for an agreement that after graduation they will
work in the profession they trained for in the public sector. The deputy
Education Minister Irena Dzierzgowska says, "We are verifying the legality
of such agreements, because we are afraid graduates who change their minds
may be able to sue us." (Zycie, page 1) A.Z.
