The educational system of Hungary
Pre-primary education
This educational level is considered as a crucially important integrated part of the school system. It caters for children from 3 to 6 years of age. Participation in pre-primary education at this level (kindergarten) is compulsory from the year 3.
Primary education
Children start primary school when they reach school-maturity, usually in the year in which they have their 6th birthday (7th if they were born after May 31).Primary education can last for 4, 6 or 8 years. 8-year education is the most widespread; the other two options were introduced in the early 1990s.Subjects include literature, grammar, mathematics, music, art, physical education, environmental studies (from 1st to 5th grade), biology (from 6th grade), geography (from 6th grade), history (from 5th grade), history of art, physics (from 6th grade), chemistry (from 7th grade), one or two foreign languages (usually English, German or French). Before 1990, Russian was compulsory.
Secondary education
Secondary education usually lasts for 4 years. In gimnáziums it can also last for 5, 6 or 8 years depending on how many years the student spent in primary school. Since 1997 the numbering of years in secondary school are following that of primary school (i. e. after the 8th grade of primary school the student goes to 9th grade, which is actually the 1st year of secondary school.)
There are three kinds of secondary schools:
• Gimnázium (non-vocational; prepares students for higher education; teaches at least 2 foreign languages)
• Szakközépiskola (vocational school but also prepares for higher education)
• Szakmunkásképző Szakiskola (vocational school)
After finishing secondary school, students take a school-leaving exam (érettségi in Hungarian). From 2005 this consists of exams on five subjects: written exam in mathematics, oral and written exams in Hungarian literature and grammar, a foreign language, history, and written and/or oral exam in a subject of the student's choice. These exams also serve as an entry exam to universities and colleges.
New secondary form until the school year of 2004/2005
Many of the gimnáziums have begun to teach a foreign language intensively (usually 12-14 lessons a week) and ICT (usually 3-4 lessons a week) in the first year. This is called nyelvi előkészítő évfolyam, literally "Language training class", or simply nulladik évfolyam (literally "0th grade"). After 2005, students will have less foreign language lessons and ICT.
At schools where there is no nulladik évfolyam (beginners classes), they may be required to introduce them because the majority of Hungarians do not speak more than one language. Most students will finish High School at the age of 18 or 19, or when they complete Year 13.
Those who had at least an intermediate level language exam weren't required to pass a language exam at school leaving exam, but has become compulsory since 2006. In language training classes, a student must pass an intermediate level language exam in the second year.
Higher education
Higher education in Hungary dates back to 1367 when Louis the Great founded the first Hungarian university in the city of Pécs.
Higher education is divided between colleges and universities. College education generally lasts for 4 years, while university education lasts for 4 to 6 years depending on the course undertaken. University PhD courses usually take 3 years to complete.
Before students get their degree, they must pass an intermediate level language exam in the foreign language of their choice. English and German are the most popular. The number of Spanish-learners has been growing in the last few years. Recently a high number of students chose Esperanto and Romani languages. The latter is said to have a relatively small vocabulary and easy grammar.

THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IN CATALONIA
BASIC ASPECTS
1. How is the Catalan Educational System organized?
The educational system is compulsory from the age of 6 up to the age of 16, and it is organized by cycles:
Infant Education, Primary Education, Secondary Education (which includes Compulsory Secondary Education, Baccalaureate and Middle Grade Vocational Training), Upper Grade Vocational Training and University Education.
Infant Education has two cycles and it goes up to the age of 6. Primary Education has three cycles between the ages of 6 and 12. Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) has two cycles between the ages of 12 and 16.
In Catalonia, the language normally used in the educational system is Catalan.
Children also learn Spanish and, when they are a bit older, they learn a modern foreign language, which is usually English. However, in some schools, they learn French instead.
2. Further information
• Pre-primary education (nursery/infant education): it’s educational-oriented and free of charge during the second stage
• Public and publicly funded private schools; there are no tuition fees in publicly funded schools although parents may be required to pay for materials, transport or meals, depending on their level of income
• Private schools may be financially independent or government dependent and may offer any level of education.
• Intermediate or Middle Vocational Training: It consists of modules with both a theoretical and practical content; transversal skills.
• Higher education includes university and non-university education: Advanced or Upper Vocational Training, Higher Artistic Education Higher Music Academies
• Baccalaureate (general upper-secondary education) involves two years and offers three modalities: Arts, Science and Technology and Humanities and Social Sciences.
• Successful performance in the university entrance examination (PAU) is essential to enroll at university

The wall
During our visit to Italy, the Italian and the Polish students built a ´wall of culture´. This wall is an open window--a metaphor for dialogue between four cultures: Italian, Polish, Hungarian and Catalan. It shows how people interact differently in each of these worlds. Cultural exchange allows us to share ourselves and learn from others.
Happy Easter
Happy Easter for our Catalan, Hungarian and Italian partners.
Happy Easter from Mszana Dolna -Szkola Podstawowa nr 2.

Welcome in Vietri di Potenza, Italy
Vietri di Petenza is a town and community in the province of Potenza, in the Basilicata region of southern Italy. The teachers, the students and all the staff in the school welcomed us.
The Italian students sang some songs.
The first song was Imagine by John Lenon. They sang this song to encourage the cultures living life in peace, nothing to kill or die and no religion too.
They showed us some traditional folk dances:
Welcome in Savoia di Lucania, Italy.
Savoia di Lucania is a town and community in the province of Potenza in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata.
The original name of the village was Salvia, but it was altered at the end of the 19th century to Savoia di Lucania after a local resident, Giovanni Passannante, attempted to take the life of King Umberto I di Savoia on November 17th, 1878.
Italian students and Italian teachers were very friendly with us. They welcomed us with some songs:
In the evening all the town celebrated a party in the square. Parents, students, teachers and the local authorities accompanied us. The mothers of the town prepared us a homecooked meal and the students showed some medieval traditional dances:
It was a very festive, warm greeting with merriment all around. The men of the town built a magnificent bonfire. Thank you very much to all the people in Savoia di Lucania.
