The Secondary Technical School of Třebíč is a regional centre of technical education with maximum emphasis put on linking the theory and the practice.
Within the full-time study the school offers graduation and apprenticeship branches of study, which are dominated by electronics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, car repair, information technology and arts and crafts of metal processing.
The advantage of these graduation and vocational studies is the fact that in the first year they have the same curricula, so the students can change their chosen field during the study. Students of graduation courses can choose different specializations during their studies.
In the grammar school type branch of study, the technical lyceum, two foreign languages are taught. From the third year of study the students choose one out of these specializations – Science, Advertising graphics and photography, Computer network engineering, Economics and Ecology.
All branches are focused on practice and prepare students for their future profession. The school cooperates very closely with the companies in our region. Their education requirements are to be included in the curricula, as has already been achieved in the branch of energetics and mechanic adjuster. School’s exemplary cooperation with companies is demonstrated by the prestigious award “Recommended by employers”. In the Vysočina region, our school regularly places among the top three schools.
Other possibilities of provided education are different types of follow-up and post-secondary studies. The school also offers a full car service, driving school, ICT in education, engineering, electrical engineering and artistic production, welding courses and further vocational training.
Students can use modern equipped classrooms, laboratories, workrooms for vocational training, school cafeteria, a modern sports hall with gym and a gymnastics hall and a multimedia auditorium. For commuters the school provides accommodation in double rooms with private facilities. The school receives indispensable support from the Vysočina region and prominent regional firms where students are part of professional practice and where they can afterwards get a job.

Education in the Czech Republic
includes elementary school, secondary school, and post-secondary school. For students ages two to five, there are preschools that are generally not state-funded until the year before elementary school. After preschool, parents are not charged for tution, but they must provide, stationery, and food for their children. A number of private schools exist across the country, but these schools are largely financially inaccessible for most children. There is an ongoing national discussion regarding the introduction of tuition fees for university education. Elementary school is mandatory for children from ages six to fifteen. After that, some students leave formal education altogether, while other students attend a professional or vocational school. Enrollment in public schools is fairly high, though these figures do not document active student engagement. Czech’s education system is governed by the Ministry of Education, Youth and sports and had a budget of €4.6 billion in 2016.
