The College also offers non- degree certificate curricula, in which students create technical abilities and expertise in a certain region. In current years, the gaps have narrowed, mainly due to the fact of increases in teachers’ salaries at these levels of education but they are still wider than the pay gap in between tertiary-educated pros and upper secondary teachers.
