Prime Minister’s Commissioner in Debrecen: “We need schools where it is good to learn and good to teach”
School principals can learn from each other and adopt good practices with the help of the mentor network that is now being launched. Institutional leaders from Debrecen are also participating in the national program aimed at improving the quality of public education.
At the event held in Debrecen on November 7, 2025, by the principal mentor network called “Good Principal—Good School” (Jó igazgató – jó iskola), the program’s initiator, Katalin Balatoni, Prime Minister’s Commissioner, emphasized the key goal is to create schools where it is good to learn and good to teach. School principals have a crucial role in this; they can learn from each other and adopt good practices with the help of the mentor network.
Deputy Mayor Diána Széles said in connection with the event: the new, national program provides an opportunity for principals from the “cívis” city to learn about the practices of other counties. And leaders living in other parts of the country can also learn about the mutual support workshop in Debrecen.
“We are in a very special situation, as many maintainers have many schools in their hands. They do not operate in one system, but each maintainer administers their schools in the same way. Therefore, it is very important that we meet regularly in the education council and discuss current issues. “This is how we generate cooperation,” said Diána Széles. On her community page, she summarized: the Mentor Network program is being launched in every county, which supports the cooperation of school principals and allows the leaders of institutions with different maintenance to get to know each other’s operations and share good practices. Debrecen, with the “Move, Debrecen!” school program and the “Power of Hugging” mental prevention program, is setting inspiring examples for all schools in the county. Institution leaders can count on our professional help. The mentor network program is an excellent opportunity for principals to be not only good leaders but also real community shapers.
