The awareness of the need to change the existing curricula and use the system of competencies has matured in most of the Federation and the ministers who participated in the meeting expressed their wish to improve the existing curricula and readiness to cooperate with the Agency for Pre-Primary, Primary and Secondary Education of BiH when switching to the system of competencies. In addition to expressing support to the work of the Agency, the ministers also requested actual assistance in the implementation of the new methodology and learning outcomes.
