Thirteen individuals have expressed interest in assuming the role of Director at the State Education Development Agency.
In a recent announcement, the competition for the leadership positions within the VIAA (Vocational and Adult Education Agency) has been launched. The competition, which was announced on February 20, will consist of three rounds and is aimed at individuals who are passionate about shaping the future of higher education, lifelong learning, vocational education, and the general education system.
In the first round, the competition committee will evaluate submitted documents and applicants' compliance with mandatory requirements. Successful candidates will then proceed to the second round, where they will present their motivation for applying, answer questions, and present their vision of the development opportunities, main strategic goals, and possible structure of VIAA.
The third round of the competition focuses on assessing the applicants' management competencies, specifically team leadership, decision-making, responsibility, and strategic vision. However, the competition does not mention any specific date for the third round.
VIAA, a key player in education innovation, EU programs, and other financial instrument programs, projects, and initiatives, is responsible for implementing and monitoring projects financed by EU Structural Funds. This role requires individuals with a strong strategic vision and the ability to lead teams effectively, making the competition an exciting opportunity for those interested in making a significant impact in the education sector.
While the selection process for this competition is not explicitly detailed, it is clear that it will involve a rigorous, multi-tiered process, similar to the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST). This award-specific selection process involves multiple levels of selection involving committees and defined criteria.
On the other hand, the national policy planning and governance for vocational education, lifelong learning, and general education systems often follows a structured, mandated policy planning system involving multi-ministerial coordination and evidence-based approaches, rather than a competitive selection process.
