Over 1,000 students have signed up for the courses, the minister said, adding that the government's goal is to ensure similar courses to all students in vocational training from the next semester. The government seeks to make AI an integral part of the curriculumm to further strengthen the country's competitiveness, Hanko said.

The minister added that three schools out of the total 60 are in ethnic Hungarian communities in neighbouring countries because "the government thinks in terms of the whole of the Carpathian Basin".

Hanko said that 60 teachers had received AI training, so "nearly all vocational training centres have teachers that have basic AI skills".

Concerning the courses, Hanko said they were organised based on the Logiscool system, developed by a small Hungarian company and used in 30 countries, ensuring AI training to a total 300,000 people. AI courses, he added, could make Hungary a "vocational training superpower".
 

AI training must also become an integral part of Hungary's higher education, Hanko said, adding that the idea was to provide basic courses at first with specialised courses to follow at MA level.
 

The minister also said that the first AI conference of Hungarian universities and colleges will be held at Veszprem's Pannon University this autumn.
