First of all, the school will accept children of refugees from Ukraine who want to study in their native language in a five-day educational institution. However, other children may also be admitted.
As for the teachers, most of them are Ukrainian refugees, but there are also Hungarian citizens among the teachers. During the selection process, the candidates were carefully considered, as the requirements were knowledge of both Hungarian and Ukrainian.
It is important that the school will follow the Hungarian curriculum with Ukrainian subjects adapted to it.
Graduates of the school will be able to receive a certificate recognised by the Hungarian state. With this certificate, they will be able to continue their education in this country.
We remind you! Starting from 21 August, free housing in Hungary will be provided only to certain categories of Ukrainian refugees. Read more about the new conditions of subsidised housing and who will be able to benefit from this assistance here.
