The Drawing Area of the Ferenc Rákóczi II Transcarpathian Hungarian College

Abstract

Abstract. The beginnings of the Transcarpathian Hungarian Teacher Training College (since December 2003 it is the Ferenc Rákóczi II Transcarpathian Hungarian College) date back to December 1993, when the Foundation for Transcarpathian Hungarian College was registered. Its founder members were the Hungarian Cultural Alliance of Transcarpathia, the Reformed Church of Transcarpathia, the Transcarpathian Union of Hungarian Educators and the Town Council of Beregszász. The Foundation instantly asked the György Bessenyei Teacher Training College of Nyíregyháza (Hungary) to provide the appropriate course programmes and lecturers for starting the training (Orosz 1997). Thus the so called "special training" was created, which was a transition from a correspondence course to a regular one. It started in September 1994 in Beregszász, Transcarpathia with four branches: English and Geography, English and History', Primary School Teaching and Nursery School Teaching. After completing the course successful-ly the students have got a diploma of Hungarian pattern.
