Summary/Abstract: This study examines Hungarian educational terminology in Slovakia, where usage is often inconsistent and lacks standardization, thereby limiting the effective use of Hungarian in the organization of education. Addressing these issues requires a systematic, centrally coordinated approach, exemplified by the Hungarian Terminology Strategy and its multilingual educational terminology database, which aims to harmonize terminology across the Carpathian Basin. The paper outlines the methodology of bilingual comparative terminological work, focusing on conceptual analysis and equivalence relations. A case study of the Slovak teacher career advancement system, compared with the Hungarian system, demonstrates that partial or non-equivalence predominates due to differing institutional and legal frameworks. The findings highlight the practical relevance of the database for educational professionals and translators.
