System of conditions:

Our school has had the quality assurance system for years which regularly measures our pupils’, their parents’, our partners’ and the maintainer’s satisfaction.
With the help of the Integrated Pedagogic System we efficiently realize the education of disadvantageous and accumulated disadvantageous pupils.
Our school is in a close cooperation with the kindergartens; we usually held common professional trainings.
We are in a continuous contact with some associations and organizations (Maros-Körös Köze OKKE, MI-ÉRTÜNK Prevenciós és Segítő Egyesület, CÖK).
Museum pedagogy is receiving larger and larger field in our education thanks to the cooperation with Szántó Kovács János Museum.
The Békés Megyei Tudásház és Könyvtár keeps lectures and trainings for us.
All the teachers of our school have the proper qualification.
Our colleagues regularly use the methods of competence based education, cooperative learning techniques, digital information base and ICT equipments.
Our school is well-equipped; through competitions we enlarge the number of the devices. We have three computer rooms with the newest computers. Thirteen interactive whiteboards and 50 student-laptops help the work of our teachers. We also have an up to date room for children with special needs to develop their skills.
With the aim of professional renewal we have held open lessons, where the teachers of our town and the narrow surrounding of it are invited. To strengthen the intercultural competences of the border-close teachers we kept lectures in these topics: integrated education, kindergarten-school change, usage of ICT devices and environmental education.

Competence based educational and teaching programme

„Sharing the knowledge is not a possibility but our duty."
An institute using competence based educational and teaching programme is able to share its experiences, knowledge and methods have been received through years of practical work. Our teachers have been using competence based methods since 2006, trying it in each grade with the help of teachers’ books. We have received experiences in Comprehension, Mathematics, Social studies and ICT. We held conferences and professional days and we also participated in such programmes. We edited a book in which we gathered our knowledge, opinions, experiences and our success. We would like to share this and make it available to other institutes.

ICT

The fast development and spread of informational and communicational devices lead to the establishment of new economical and social formation. The informational society brings together rural and urban societies. It results a never seen knowledge share and at the same time it gives the possibility to everyone to reach the necessary information and by this their lives become richer. The undergoing changes affect every part of our lives therefore the education, too. Schools must exploit it! The basic competences to use ICT devices should be available to everyone equally and the necessary personal and material conditions have to be established even at lower levels of the institutes. We have been endeavouring to this from the beginning and we set ourselves this aim. The enlargement of the material conditions and the spread of the devices of the ICT technology in our lessons enriched our pedagogic methodological culture. In this our ten-year-old ICT education on both normal and higher level helps our work. We have been sharing these experiments with others.
