Primary School no. 1 has
517 pupils in 19 classes. The teaching staff consists of 38 highly
qualified teachers (11 of them received the highest educational degree).
Most of the teachers completed post-graduate studies. They constantly
improve their qualifications participating in methodological courses,
conferences and workshops.

We have 18 classrooms, a
gym, a library (6 computers), a canteen and a new computer classroom (11
computers in the local net with access to the Internet). It was opened

for activities related to other subjects.

connect history and tradition with the present day.
