On October 10, 1898, Technical Education was implemented in Argentina through the approval of the project presented by Otto Krause. Since then, the National Day of the Technician is celebrated every year.
We also salute the teachers who with their professionalism, effort and dedication train future generations.
On October 10 of each year the "National Day of the Technician" is celebrated to remember that on that same date in 1898 the first study plans related to Mechanics, Chemistry and Constructions were approved, based on a project developed by engineer Otto Krause. One year later, this professional founded the first industrial school in Argentina: Escuela Técnica N°1 "Otto Krause", located at Paseo Colón 650 (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires). With the foundation of this educational institution, a new type of education was inaugurated. In his opening speech, Krause stated that the school provided "finished knowledge, in a rational and modern way". He also said that it was based "on the real needs of the country in its various specialties" and that it had "an immediate application in real life".
