Summary/Abstract: The paper is about managerialism in public education, appearing as a concrete example of the headway that has been made in competence-based education. The new public management approach, which can be one way of administering different public bodies, is not yet widespread in Hungary; though several studies can be found in international literature dealing with the new form of public management as being evidential in the public education sphere. A wish to implement competence-based education, have local and international evaluation/assessment of students and see how pedagogical processes qualify exist within the context of new public management. The appearance of such desires at this time period are more coincidental, rather than being part of the concept for long-term strategy. However, efficiency and budget-centred elements within the school system should be considered permanent factors, ones worth analysing for such a system to operate.
