- ICT and teacher training are highly valued in Hungary's education system, which aims to create a knowledge-based economy. However, teacher trainee numbers have recently declined. - Two notable projects aimed to promote ICT skills among teachers: The Roma IT Project from 2003-2005 focused on disadvantaged schools, finding benefits like increased student motivation. - The European Pedagogical ICT Licence program since 2006 provides a web-based certification for developing teachers' ICT skills through hands-on, school-based projects completed over 5-6 months. It focuses on pedagogy and views ICT as an agent of change.
