Tehetségkutatás és tehetségmentés a református gimnáziumokban
The Practice of Talent Development in the Reformed Grammar Schools

Summary/Abstract: The movement undertaking the search for talented children from rural areas as well as their secondary education began in Sárospatak in 1935. It was a voluntary grassroots initiative not suggested by any official authorities but strongly supported by all school forums in Patak. Talent rescue became a responsibility dear to the teachers’ hearts: those participating in the programme did not receive any remuneration for their work; on the contrary, they regularly made donations themselves, individually or as members of the teaching staff. Talent development and talent rescue grew into a national movement over the years. Some of the reformed secondary schools, traditionally referred to as “the schools of the poor”, joined first, and from 1941 the government, too, was committed to saving talents, which resulted in 72 religious and state-run secondary schools taking over and continuing this programme of “nation building”.
