Training

Implementation of a training programme designed in accordance with the results of the training needs analysis for the stakeholders involved in the training and campaign implementation, is among the expected results of the project. Such trainigns are to ensure they have adequate capacity to implement target-based and efficient training activities and awareness raising campaigns on road safety.

The training needs analysis highlights the following areas to improve:

• Regulations on driving schools and capacity for delivery of driver trainings effectively

• Introducing systematic written exam procedure for drvier licensing

• Effective trafic police controls and surveillance

• Improving cooperation performance between public organisations, civil society organisations and private sector

• Enabling media to work on this topic more effectively.

In addition to these, it has been identified among the strategic issues that improvement of the quality of the training content delivered in schools for the students and in driving schools for the driver candidates is key for long-term success. Results of analysis conducted, indicate that level of knowledge on traffic rules is poor in almost all segments of the society.  If people know the rules and their justification, they will be caring more about safe driving. In respect of this, first the curriculum in driving schools and the traffic rules book need significant revision, second the traffic training curriculum needs to be developed and introduced for primary schools.

Training topics are selected with a special focus on ensuring on sustainability. This issue is specifically mentioned in the training needs ananlysis report.

The training programmes planned are:

1- Trainings for the driving school teachers and licensing inspectors

2- Trainings for traffic control units

3- Trainings for professional drivers with the participation of unions

4- Trainings for young students

5- Training for young drivers (18-24 age group)

6- Trainings for the units in charge of regulation and enforcement on road safety

7- Trainings for media representatives

This project is funded by the European Union and implemented by Piri Group consortium.
