Abstract

The key issue of the usefulness of technical education and training is whether the school knowledge meets the requirements of the economy. That is why one of the aims of the development of vocational training is the continuous correlation between the content of the training and the requirements of the user (applier). Announced within the frames of the Phare-programme, the project called `Strengthening the Links between Education and Economy´ gave the possibility for the Department of Technical Education of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics to realise an advantaged development for renewing technical teacher education in content. Below, we are to give a short review about this expansion work, in the frame of which we developed and initiated a system of curriculum and learning resources for the different levels of technical teacher training - teachers, engineer teachers (Md), engineer teachers (Bd), and also teacher trainees, and for in-practice pedagogues and the management of schools.
