Egy megvalósult és egy tervezett reformról
Notes on Two Reforms: One Already in Effect, the Other One Still in the Planning Stage

Summary/Abstract: The study analyses some issues concerning two changes to the structure of the school system in Hungary, one already in effect and the other one still in the stage of planning. The reform of the system of kindergartens started in 2015. Since then every three years old child must go to a kindergarten until they start school unless exempted for some special reason. The study discusses the implications of this change in the context of educational policy in the past eight years and its results so far. The other change, still in the stage of planning, concerns the eight year elementary school. The government announced that it intended to increase the number of years to nine. The author raises some concerns about this change from the aspect of educational and social policy, especially as regards selection.
