Throughout the year 2015, the Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic supported technical education, in cooperation with school representatives, organizations, institutions, and state officials who voice their support for technial education, especially in connection to financing of the pedgagocial sector. The ABF, a.s. company has also joined this campaign.
Throughout the year, more than 400 events took place all over the Czech Republic. We do not have the ambition to change the whole educational system in just one year, but we did succeed in connecting companies with schools and in organization of school trips, competitions, open days, trade fairs and regional meetings of school representatives, companies, state officials.
The aim of the project was to promote technical sectors and to overcome the prejudices connected to the technical branches of education, which are still observable in the public, based on surveys conducted among students and their parents. The server www.rokprumyslu.eu presents the key sectors of technical education, practical trainings, information about systemic changes and leisure time activities connected to technology and industry. The server also provides numerous videos from events organized within the project, as well as an attractive animated spot.
When choosing the right type of education for their children and choosing the right high school, parents can use the unique Almanach of technical education. Though the Year of Industry and Technical Education is now ending, the Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic will still actively support technical education with the aim to affect new legislation that regulated the educational system.
