The Secondary Vocational School in Prievidza was established in 1947
and is a part of the secondary school system in Slovakia. It
is a state co-educational day school with an agricultural
specialization in addition to general education. The school is
situated in the Upper Nitra Region about 190 km east of the Slovak
capital Bratislava. It has a good infrastructure and is easily
accessible by public transport. Approximately 340 students
aged 15 – 19 attend the school and we have a staff of 45 counting
both teachers and service personnel. The two foreign languages
taught in our school are English and German. As for 2005, the
school teaches up to A-level standard. After the 4th year the
students graduate after sitting for a written and oral exam called "Maturita“
( a kind of A-level exam). The students finishing a 3-year
study program take a final apprentice exam. They are awarded
an Apprenticeship Certificate. They can continue with 2-year
superstructural studies in order to take the "Maturita“.
For the purposes of school tuition there are 13
general classrooms and 7 specialised classrooms. The school
has 2 own gymnasiums and its own football ground. To meet the
needs of practical training the school is provided with its own
workrooms of 4 classrooms and a car driving simulator (used for
driving lessons), garages and a gardening ground. Practical
training also takes place in contractual businesses in Prievidza.
We offer the following study programs (3 and 4-
year duration) with an agricultural and commerce emphasis, which are
