Publications
The National Institute of Vocational and Adult Education distributes textbooks for vocational qualifi cations
in the scope of the Ministry of Social Aff airs and Labour. The continuous work in the development of
vocational and methodological teaching materials is proven by many textbooks, interactive teaching
materials supporting e-learning and fi lms for education. Another chapter in the development of
teaching materials are special teaching materials developed for learners with learning problems and
various disadvantages.
The National Institute of Vocational and Adult Education publishes three periodicals. Szakoktatás
(Vocational Education) is published each month during the schoolyear, in which the latest information
about vocational education is published. Szakképzési Szemle (Vocational Training Review) is a quarterly.
In this periodical mostly theoretical works and analyses are published. The target group of our periodical
Felnőttképzés are all the public and private institutions pursuing adult education, we provide information
for them concerning developments and current issues in this area.
Special fi eld of interest for transnational (international) projects
Since its establishment, the National Institute of Vocational and Adult Education has been operating
a wide range of international relations. The institute has joint research and development activities and
exchange of experiences with its foreign partners. Besides programmes in the framework of the European
Union, e.g. Leonardo da Vinci, Socrates, inter-governmental projects, the cooperation with Hungarian
organisations outside our borders is also signifi cant in terms of teaching material development, textbook
supply, teacher further training, study visits and joint study competitions.
In the realisation of European Union tasks the National Reference Point within the National Institute of
Vocational and Adult Education has a predominant role. The Centre performs its activities in accordance
with European Commission guidelines, in close cooperation with CEDEFOP (the European centre of VET
development), and is also building relationships with the centres of EU member countries. The centre is
responsible for the content development of certifi cate supplements and the operation of a website where
these documents can be found. The directorate also operates the Hungarian National Observatory.
