TECHNICAL ARTICLES
Technical Education in the Czech Republic
Marta Stará
Summary: The rapid technological development has been causing major changes in the labour market in the last few years. As manufacturing processes are digitalised and robotised, the requirements placed on various professions have started to change while some professions are gradually disappearing, being replaced with new ones. This is also being increasingly reflected in the need to bolster the shared elements of the general foundations of education. Emphasis is placed on the development of key competences, and not only with regard to long-term success in the labour market, and on continued professional education and the creation of suitable conditions facilitating graduates’ transfer to employment. The educational system must reflect the changes in the labour market, which are transforming the existing professions and creating new ones. A new challenge in secondary vocational training is to design education so as to be able to prepare the students also for professions the existence of which we cannot imagine at present
Key words: Vocational training, labour market, schools, professions
Importance of the Department of Gaseous and Solid Fuels and Air Protection, UCT Prague, in gas education
Karel Ciahotný, Tomáš Hlinčík
Summary: For the past 70 or so years, the most important university-level educational institution focused on the gas industry in what today is the Czech Republic has been the Coke and Gas Department at the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague. The contribution describes the historical evolution of instruction in gas sciences in today’s Czech Republic, from the emergence of the gas industry as such, through the establishment of an independent University of Chemistry and Technology and one of its faculties, the Fuel and Water Technology Faculty, within which the Coke and Gas Department was set up, until today. Over the time of its existence, the Department has also been extensively involved in international cooperation, including student and staff exchanges and various joint international projects.
