The Standpoint of József Eötvös on Education
The Standpoint of József Eötvös on Education

Summary/Abstract: In this study, I examine the role of Eötvös in educational policies and his standpoints on education. He declared all through his career that the development of economic and political life was inevitably correlated to culture and education. The standpoint of Eötvös in the basic question is clear: culture and education should be the responsibility of the state. Based on his well-preparedness and extensive knowledge in various fields, he was able to prepare and implement his programme with creative self-reliance. It can be stated that József Eötvös know that enormous financial investment would be required for the execution of the provisions set out in the law on public schools, and that its impacts would be felt only decades later.
