Invisible for International Assessments: Student Competencies in Subcarpathia

Summary/Abstract: Researchers have been long intrigued by the issue of school choice and the related strategies in a minority context as well as by the consequences of the decision for the individual and the community. Studies examining the school choice of ethnic Hungarian parents from a theoretical perspective have found, among others, that besides ethnically neutral motives (such as the proximity of the school or the ratio of graduates going into higher education), language-based decisions (aimed at ensuring children a more successful career and homeland integration than those of their parents’ thanks to a high competence in the majority language) are especially important in the ethnic Hungarian communities of the Carpathian Basin.
