She noted that such tools can help reduce uncertainty among students after completing school education.
She further highlighted the central role of teachers in ensuring the success of the initiative and urged them to familiarise themselves thoroughly with the application. Teachers were encouraged to actively disseminate information about the app and integrate its use into regular guidance and mentoring activities in schools.
