Preparing a child for school is an important period not only in the life of the child, but also of his/her parents. The modernisation of teaching and of the entire education system raises many questions that are often unclear and unanswered to the parents. At the lecture, which took place on 7 November 2023 at the Castanea Confectionery, PhDr. Erika Drgoňová, Director of the Centre for Counselling and Prevention in Veľký Krtíš informed the parents of pre-school children about new trends in the educational process, about inclusion in education and about the gradual transformation of the school into a multicultural environment.
