The history of ICT education in Hungarian public education dates back to the 1970s. In Hungary, as well as in most countries that introduced computing as a compulsory school discipline, a shift is observable from a technology-centred towards a teaching-learning centred approach. In the late 1970s, teacher training programmes and in-service training courses were introduced in large numbers to satisfy the accelerating need for ICT educators. In 1982, a design contest for school computers was launched by the Hungarian Ministry of Education to equip a large number of (mostly secondary) schools with affordable and easy to use computers, complete with pedagogically valid educational programmes. A third objective was also formulated but, unfortunately, not realized: to train teachers of different disciplines to use computers in their preparation and daily teaching practice. Today, the main problem for the dissemination of ICT-based educational methods is the low level of teacher ICT competency.
