The Masaryk Academy of Labour and its Contribution to the Development of Technically Skilled Workers

Original language description

The Masaryk Academy of Labour (MAL) was founded in 1920 as the first academic institution for Czech (Czechoslovakian) technicians and engineers. It was the centre of technical work whose aim was to organise it so that the skills of all people would be used as well as the natural resources of Czechoslovakia in an economical way. Due to the change of political system, the institution became part of the Czechoslovakian Academy of Science in 1952. As an academic technical institution, the Masaryk Academy of Labour influenced also the development and adjustment of high school education and university technical education in the form of independent proposals. Thanks to its Commission for the Democratisation of Education, it supported the professional development of technically skilled workers in the form of practical handbooks and lectures. There was also the Commission for the Problem of Unemployed Technically Skilled Workers, whose aim was to find how to use the abilities of unemployed technicians. Last but not least, it also financially and administratively supported work placement schemes and academic residency programmes of the Czech engineers in American major industrial plants, such as Ford’s Plant in Detroit, etc. By all these activities, the Masaryk Academy of Labour contributed to the development of the engineering elite in the newly formed Czechoslovakian Republic. The aim of the article will be to introduce the activities of the above mentioned Commission for the Democratisation of Education.
