Palestine Polytechnic University (PPU) is set to host its academic conference titled “The Reality, Challenges, and Prospects of Dual Studies” on February 3, 2025, at 9:30 AM, at the university’s campus in Hebron.
Organized by the College of Dual Studies, the event aims to highlight the innovative educational model that merges theoretical learning with practical training, inspired by the German dual education system. The conference will bring together key stakeholders from academia, government, industry, and development organizations to explore strategies for strengthening ties between education and the labor market.
Three panel sessions will take place during the conference:
