PUBLIC EDUCATION IN THE PAST
Public education in the past
It is without doubt that culture of people is established in schools. It was like this in the past and it is like this today.
The first traces can be found from the time of the resettlement of the Franciscan order: It is most probable that there was education in the monastery.
Written data on school life in Palora can only be found after the 1700s: In 1747 children were taught in Hungarian in a roman catholic school. In 1835 count Zichy built a school, at the end of the century Count János Waldstein's wife, countess Adél Kálnoky founded the Cloister school for roman catholic girls. From the 1830s there was a Calvinist school, from the middle of the 1700s there was a Jewish school in Palota. The Lutherans built the first ?school house? in 1703. The kindergarten?s establishment is also connected to Adél Kálnoky, she founded it in 1885. This was the town?s only kindergarten until 1945.
