Regular day-time courses to help
Program implementation
As part of the regular college training course, some opportunities
have been opened to hold lectures for future kindergarten teachers.
The aim of these lectures is to help them to form an opinion
and to provide information on the Program. In Szarvas, in the
Teachers’s Training Faculty of the Tessedik Sámuel
College, the Smoking or Health Program was introduced as a supplementary
type D course. We hope that this subject will be introduced
in more and more kindergarten teachers’ training colleges
as a regular course.
