The St. Istvan's High School in Mukachevo opened in 2001 for students who want to learn. So this year we celebrate the tenth anniversary of the existence of the institution. The 2011-2012 school years bring serious changes into the life of the lyceum. The main reason of it is the new Education Act, which has recently come into force.
