évfolyamok

In Hungarian education, "évfolyamok" refers to academic years or grades. This term denotes a specific level of schooling within a particular academic year, typically starting in the autumn and concluding in the spring. Students progress through these years sequentially, advancing from one "évfolyam" to the next based on their age, academic performance, and the completion of required curriculum.

The structure of the Hungarian school system is divided into several key stages, each encompassing multiple "évfolyamok." Primary education, known as "általános iskola," generally covers eight years, from the first grade ("első évfolyam") up to the eighth grade ("nyolcadik évfolyam"). Following primary school, students may continue to secondary education, which includes "gimnázium," "szakközépiskola," and "szakiskola." These institutions further subdivide their programs into "évfolyamok," with "gimnázium" typically having four years and vocational schools varying in length. The concept of "évfolyamok" is fundamental to understanding the progression and organization of learning within the Hungarian educational framework, providing a clear measure of a student's academic journey.
