János Bugja is the principal of Dancs Lajos Elementary School in Nagyecsed, a school of approximately 250 students, many of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds. He also teaches PE across lower and upper grades and has been in education for over 30 years, including two decades in leadership.
As a PE-focused principal, János’s classroom challenge was less about heavy workload and more about competing for student attention in an era of constant digital stimulation. He wanted to bring variety and colour into lessons — especially for students who weren’t well-served by traditional academic formats. “We fight every day for their attention. The world around them has accelerated enormously.”
When János used Redmenta to create worksheets for Hungarian language lessons in the lower grades, he was struck by how much it unlocked. He made a Hungarian worksheet for fourth-graders to add variety — and discovered a tool that generates so many options he’d never have created alone. As principal, he now actively promotes Redmenta to his staff, calling it “21st-century education” and telling colleagues it should be mandatory for every educator. His perspective is unique: he sees Redmenta not just as a time-saver but as a bridge between teachers and an attention-challenged generation. “If you dive into it and explore all its functions, you’ll fall in love with it on first sight.”
“I would make it mandatory in schools. It simplifies things, streamlines them — the range of resources it offers is endless. Anyone who wants to be an educator must make it their own.”
