Level of Education and Level of Schooling. An Introduction to the Differences Involved in Two Approaches

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we would like to outline the differences that can be noted between level of education data and schooling data. In the post-1867 time period, schooling data served the educational administration, while level of education data (alphabetism) was for the public and helped parliamentary control of educational government. The data and acts carried out for different schooling routes (bürgershule, gymnasium, realschule) served the interests of education authorities and the traditional middle classes, with the 1883 act defining the 4 or 8 “secondary school” as a precondition for someone’s being able to do different jobs and take up certain positions in the modern Hungary. In the national census of 1910, the weight of people with four years of education demonstrates the social modernization initiated by local social groups, while the weight of people with eight secondary school-years demonstrates the modernization initiated by government. Post-1945 schooling data shows that the visiting of 8 year long basic school became “total” in the late 1940s, while data related to the level of education of teenagers illustrates that the real effectiveness of schooling in the 1950s, ‘60s and ’70s went through a long period of development. Level of education data shows that there are some generations in which one third of people having 8 grade, get this diploma in their adult age.
