Education in Valea Ierii

The first school was opened in 1912 in Valea Ierii-Caps, which was a forestry basin at the time. The support of Count Iuliu Andrassy is acknowledged for the opening of this school, which initially provided education in Hungarian.

After the Great Union in 1918, education shifted to the Romanian language.

After the Second World War, a school was opened in Plopi (1943–1944), and in 1954 one was also established in Cerc.

In the main village of Valea Ierii, the school was established in 1948. Initially, it offered education for 4 grades. Starting in 1957, it expanded to 7 grades, and from 1965 to 8 grades. For a few years, up until 1990, the school offered education up to 10th grade.
