Sánchez announces 1,200 million euros for Vocational Training

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has announced that the Council of Ministers this Tuesday will approve an additional investment of 1,238 million euros for Vocational Training (FP), of which around 800 million will go to the training of workers and companies and another 300 to increase the number of places, improve classrooms or promote the internationalization of students.

"In short, we are talking about a country's commitment," Sánchez said in a brief statement without questions after a visit to the Mislata Public Integrated Center for Vocational Training (CIFP) together with the 'president' of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, and the mayor of this Valencian town, Carlos Fernández Bielsa.

Sánchez, who has listened to some experiences of the students of the center, has highlighted the Government's commitment to VET in the last four years and has pointed to intergenerational inequality as a "pending challenge" in Spain.

"We are committed to Vocational Training because we believe in and want the best future for our children", he has said, and has even assured that "in many years, when I look back", the "dignification" of VT will be achievements of which you are most proud as president.
