From the history of the school
The vocational school was founded in 1949 as the vocational glass school of the glass factory Inwald in Dubi, later called national Company - Container and Pressed Glass. In 1964, the vocational school was merged with another vocational school of the National Company - Flat Glass and the new Vocational School of Sklo Union, Glass Company in Teplice was founded. Until 1988 the school was settled in the former Labour House in Teplice - Trnovany. The vocational school was directed and governed by the state company Sklo Union at first, later by Sklotas, the concern company, then again by Sklo Union and after by Glavunion - Teplice. On the 1st July 1991 the Glavunion secondary Vocational School of the Glass Industry, joint stock company was established as a non-state, a private school. In October 1995 was set up the Secondary Technical School as a part of the vocational school. Since 1st January 1996 the school has had the new name The Secondary Technical School and Secondary Vocational School of Glass Industry, Glaverbel Czech, joint stock company. Within last ten years there is number of 120 - 170 graduates per year. Since its beginning, the school has prepared 7,800 workers in total. The greatest development has been carried out since 1988 when the school was removed to the former primary school in Teplice - Retenice, the Roosevelt´s Square. There are approximately 500 students who attend the school in last years.
The present time: Nowadays the school has been fitted with modern equipments and facilites - four modern labs of computing, three fitted labs for administration, a few modern labs and workshops (for electronics, the low voltage electrical engineering, engineering, informatics, pneumatics), language labs, the fitness centre etc. Since 1st September 2007 the school has received the new name Secondary Technical School AGC a.s.
