Summary/Abstract: The article analyses different types of minority education system in the Carpathian Basin, and it principally concentrates on identifying the peculiarities of Hungarian minority education. According to the author, understanding the characteristics of any kind of minority education implies that one knows the national and the ethno-political context of such education. Based on this assumption, the study also looks at the ways that national states and minority politics have an impact on the functioning of minority education. The article provides some statistical data on minority education – though the author does think that there is a lot of untapped possibility for analyses of minority education on the basis of international student assessment tests. For this reason, based on PISA results the article tries, in a new way, to analyze the school competencies of Hungarian minority students from Romania, Slovakia and Serbia.
