- Administrative/biographical history:
- The state primary school Teaca was founded in 1921, when primary education became compulsory and free in Romania. The expenses for the school and the salaries of the teachers were covered by the community and the state. The studies lasted 7 years including a first cycle of four years of elementary studies and then three years of a so-called superior cycle. In 1947 the school became a mixed school for boys and girls. At that time it had 181 pupils. Since 1962 the period of studies has been extended to eight years.
