EU Membership and Educational Development: Hungary, 2006-2010

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the effect of Hungary’s membership in the European Union on its educational development in the period 2006–2010. It tries to answer two parallel types of question. On the one hand, it explores how far Hungary has become an effective member of the European Union in the domain of education; and, on the other, it explores the influence of its membership in the community on the development of its national system. The focus of the analysis is directed towards four specific themes. First, the author examines how far the national education policy agenda has become similar to the agenda of the community, that is, how far the nation’s policy has become Europeanized. Second, it assesses the performance of the national system using the perspective of reference values and benchmarks set by the community. The article then explores the impact of major national development programs financed from EU funds and specific problems accompanying the implementation of such programs, in the light of relevant and available data. Finally, it looks at the role Hungary could play in shaping community policies during the period examined – with special stress being given to the prospective Hungarian EU presidency in 2011.
