Please note that the initial teacher training sections of the website were originally funded by the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA). They have not been updated since March 2009 and the information provided in them may have been superseded.
Education in Hungary is provided for pre-school age children, aged 3 - 6; children aged 6 - 14 in the general school; and students aged 14 - 18/19 in various forms of upper secondary school. Some students do, however, move on to secondary level education (from the general school) at either age 10 or 12. Section 7.1 of this description consequently describes teacher training for teachers training to teach the younger age range (3+); sections 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 describe training for teachers looking to teach either in the general 6 - 14 school or to teach students aged 10+/12+ or 14+ in various forms of secondary school.
