Question marks in the modernisation process – Regional Integrated Training Centres (RITC)

Summary/Abstract: The author of this paper argues that some years ago nobody in Hungary questioned the idea that there were too many initial VET institutions (over 1000 in number). As a result, the system was inefficient and possibilities for quality management were limited. Decision makers in the responsible ministry were aiming at a concentration process that was similar to what took place in the Netherlands in the late 90s, i.e. merging many hundreds of VET-schools into forty-odd ROCs (Regional Training Centres). The article describes the two phases of the development of the RITC system, which had led to 84 RITCs by 2009. Stakeholders are sharply divided as to whether this development is good or bad for the Hungarian VET system because, for the time being, many RITCs are not regional, the majority are not integrated and many RITCs have not even got a training centre. The RITCs established very different organizational structures, which fact makes the unavoidable modifications of regulations difficult.
