School of Pedagogical and Technological Education or Ανώτατη Σχολή Παιδαγωγικής και Τεχνολογικής Εκπαίδευσης (ASPETE) – public higher education institution in Greece. ASPETE became active in 1952. The main campus is located at the heart of the capital of Greece – Athens. School of Pedagogical and Technological Education earned its place in the top 40 universities of Greece.
Right after World War II, the Greek government became aware of the need to place particular emphasis on the provision of vocational training in several traditional and new technical specialties. This meant developing and planning a system of Technical and Vocational Education in both, the public and private sector. Such an institutionalization entailed the systematic training of teachers of technical and vocational subjects, and it was to this end that SELETE was founded by state-law in 1959 (Law 3971/1959). ASPAITE When SELETE was first founded, the prevailing trend for the education and training of Technical and Vocational Teachers was that of the “add on” approach. That is, the focus was primarily on pedagogical training and only a small component of the curriculum pertained to technical or vocational subjects. Later, in the seventies, a parallel approach was adopted, that urged integrating pedagogical training with technical and vocational training. This new approach led to the establishment of two separate Schools under SELETE.
