First you choose a sector, which you learn about for 2 years.
You choose your profession after the second year.
The technical school combines the advantages of grammar school and vocational training:
Mathematics, Hungarian, history and a foreign language are taught in the same curriculum as at grammar school.
A language examination is possible, as at the upper secondary school, but one language is compulsory. Schools may offer more than one language option in their individual offer.
There is no need to choose a fifth subject for the school-leaving certificate, as the vocational examination will be the fifth subject.
The technical examination is considered an advanced level subject. On completion of year 5, you will receive both a diploma and a diploma in technology.
You can become a high school student by receiving a scholarship and, in the case of dual training, a work contract with the company, which means you will have an income.
Agriculture and forestry sector
Mechanisation and automation are playing an increasingly important role in agricultural professions as a result of technological progress.
The sector combines technical achievements with the beauty of manual work. It combines state-of-the-art mechanisation, digitalisation and traditional artisanal farming.
Agricultural production and services are a way of dealing with the living world, with living beings, which, because of their natural and biological characteristics, create specific conditions and are a major challenge for the practical dissemination and diffusion of innovations (i.e. new innovations and new processes).
The area includes crop production, livestock farming, horticulture, forestry, agricultural mechanisation, game management and fisheries, land surveying and geo-information, which offer a diversity of production/agriculture and services.
The professions covered by the sector are of the broadest interest.
