RDTCs Decisions are Taken Little into Account by Vocational Schools

It is a very important requirement for skills training in the public education system that students obtain the skills and trades necessary for long-term access to the labor market. One important condition is that the schism between trades obtained at vocational school and the needs of the labor market be narrowed. In order to facilitate this goal, the Hungarian government developed a system in which the Regional Development and Training Committees (RDTCs) between 2008 and 2012 proposed a vocational training school structure on a regional basis. The IEER latest analysis examines how training schools responded to the proposals of the RDTCs education structure, and how proposals have been taken into account when making enrollment decisions. A key finding of this analysis is that RDTCs decisions have only minor influence on the future development of student numbers.
