The Bachelor's degree is not adequately valued on the labor market and therefore it is necessary to round off the legal regulations as soon as possible, according to the Student Parliament of the University of Montenegro (SPUCG).

This, they said, is necessary in order for students, after obtaining that diploma, to get adequate work engagement.

Minister of Education Damir Šehović organized on Friday, on the initiative of the SPUCG, a meeting attended by the president of that student organization, Danilo Jelovac, and student ombudsman Aleksandar Šipčić.

As they said, at the request of that umbrella student organization, the students of master's studies at UCG were given two more years to complete that level of study without additional financial obligations, which are borne by the Government of Montenegro and the Ministry of Education.

At the meeting, it was agreed that students will have the opportunity to complete their master's studies by the end of 2020/21.

"In this way, with the initiative of SPUCG, but also with the expressed readiness of UCG and the relevant ministry to resolve this issue, students were given two more study years to complete this level of study without financial obligations," said the student organization.

It is added that the government and the relevant ministry will bear the obligation that the master's degree students had to settle.

SPUCG said that at the meeting they also discussed the issue of the status of students of specialist studies in the new study system defined by the law on Higher Education.

They asked to be allowed to enroll in specialist studies in the next academic year, i.e. academic year 2020/21.

"Namely, the law defines that the last year of enrollment in specialist studies should be the 2019/20 academic year, but this issue was also discussed at the initiative of the SPUCG", said the SPUCG.
