Sources: 7. Developments: 2. The Civil Közoktatási Platform (CKP) has proposed a comprehensive overhaul of the Hungarian public education system to address issues of centralization and social inequality. The platform’s strategy advocates for a unified school structure, suggesting either a 10-year or 12-year model to replace the current system of six- and eight-grade secondary schools. This shift aims to eliminate early student selection that often separates children based on socioeconomic backgrounds at ages 10 to 12. To support this, the CKP recommends raising the compulsory school age to 18 and extending non-maturating vocational training to four years. Further recommendations include replacing the traditional 1–5 numerical grading system with continuous, qualitative textual feedback to focus on individual development. The proposal also calls for reducing rigid national curricula to provide teachers and schools with greater autonomy over local teaching content and rhythms. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-14: Civil Public Education Platform proposes Hungarian school reform The Civil Public Education Platform has proposed a major overhaul of Hungary's school system, suggesting a unified 10 or 12-year model to reduce social inequality and delay early career branching. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/civil-public-education-platform-proposes-hungarian-school-reform ### 2026-10-06: Civil Közoktatási Platform proposes major Hungarian education reforms The Civil Közoktatási Platform has proposed a major reform of Hungarian education, suggesting the removal of 6- and 8-grade secondary schools and replacing numerical grades with textual feedback. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/civil-kzoktatsi-platform-proposes-major-hungarian-education-reforms --- Cite as: Hungarian education reform proposals by CKP.
