Nowadays, technology takes up a primordial importance in society. The technical concepts and the terminology became an integral part of our culture and language. Therefore, it is necessary to acquire knowledge and skills in this field which enable the individual to cope with life requirements and to follow the quick evolution of today’s technique.
The Educational Reform Plan has emphasized the importance of the technology in the new educational system. It is considered as a discipline which includes 240 periods for the basic education ( elementary and intermediate levels) and 90 periods for the secondary education and to which will be added certain technical knowledge.
The technology education gives the student the opportunity to understand, study and carefully use technical products. It is necessary to show him how knowledge can be mobilized and used in action. Moreover, he will realize that technical learning always conforms with the prospects and values of evolutions and discovers the job market which will help him make his career choice.
These applications or projects meet the conditions of coherence, and correspond to real life activities. The order of presentation of the various technical aspects of these projects is neither chronological or hierarchical. The project offers an integration of knowledge into the know-how which is related to different disciplines. The student learn how to analyze and acquire a coherent overview concerning the realities of the contemporary world in which he lives, reacts and develops.
The program goes along with a variety of practical and classical realizations found on information and communication technologies (visualization simulation)
This process, being focused on projects, familiarizes the student with the scientific reasoning . The student will learn how to observe, execute measurements, exploit results interpret phenomena, use technical devices and machines, carry out sketches and undertake bibliographic and documentary research.
Thus, this education gives the student the opportunity to perform some activities individually or within a group. These activities are neither exhaustive nor restrictive, they will be carried out according to the teacher’s instructions.
The opening onto the world is a condition of success to this education; it can take various forms: well-prepared visits, inquiries, specialists intersession ..etc.
The technology education reflects its interdisciplinary aspect. It is carried out in accordance with the educational reform plan and is aimed at achieving the following objectives:

Technology enables the student to have access to the world that was built up by man. Its education at this level is aimed at showing the relations which exist between the products and the needs of the society.
The technology education will be provided in the first and second year of this cycle through teaching Fine Arts, globally or in integrated way, allocating 60 periods divided equally.

At this level, the technology education grants a privilege to certain fields according to their influence on the great technical, economical and social evolutions. Thus it provides a better control of the technological procedure and an opening onto a technical culture which is more elaborated. When many solutions are given to the same technical problem, the learner can perceive better the evolution as a result of progress, technologies and production means. Thus he will establish a relation between the conception and realization activities and the enterprises' practices.
