The educational system in the Czech Republic lags behind the dynamic development of industry 4.0, particularly in information technologies. The consequences of these changes manifest themselves in how school graduates apply themselves professionally and socially in all areas of social life.

To address this situation, the author recommends insights from the findings of knowledge management and applying Revans’s Law (the necessity of stimulating internal growth of knowledge toward the external environment).
