Although in recent years several measures, government activities, projects and increased R&D resources have motivated and assisted companies in their innovation activities. This resource will be not enough to the transition because the main resources, the qualified employees, are lacking from the system. The education shows a strong fallback compared to Industry 4.0. Research aims. The primary research examines the education system from Industry 4.0 point of view. What do students expect from educational institutions during the 4th Industrial Revolution?
