  1. The Partnership and Quality Award for Public Education at the Elementary and Music School in Kerecsend

  2. „The educators of Kerecsend started on a way and they can already see the results. They know, that all this can be indebted to themselves. It gives them a kind of poise, and so much energy that it is itself a guarantee for the further results since it is the teacher beaming with deep-seated conviction and strength that is the most impressive thing in education” /Buda Mariann-Kalivoda Katalin/
