Around 2000 teachers provide quality education for nearly 20,000 students in Debrecen’s institutions. László Türk, Director of the Debrecen School Centre , said in his welcome speech that the schools had won the trust of parents thanks to the excellent teachers. 

“School is about the child and the teacher, about education and upbringing. School is the place where parents leave their children with peace of mind and confidence,” he said.
