WHY SCIENCE ?


WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT VERTICAL INTEGRATION?

•Encourages the continuity of the content that we teach.•Encourages the knowledge transfere.•Encourages a highly intensive dialog, project work, team work, socialization.


“European Innovation Scoreboard is warning European countries, they are behind Asian countries in education and developement. The reason is a huge lack of young scientists and engineers. We don’t care much about that in Slovenia, but we should! If our country won’t have excellent teachers, engineers and scientists, it won’t get to the level of developed countries. And the most important thing is, guidance should start as soon as possible, in kindergarten.”
