Autonomy and Democracy. Debates in the Crisis of Socialism (Hungary, 1985)
Abstract
The mid-1980s was a flourishing period in Hungarian education: many debates spoke about the possible transformation of the schooling system, years before the political regime changed in 1989/1990. The autonomy of the schools stood at the core of these discussions, focusing on the development of workplace democracy. The process was allowed and supported by some reform-socialist politicians in the Cultural Ministry and experts from the Pedagogical Institute, as a modernization trend – there were also voices against this loose liberalism. In this study, I will show this forgotten and not yet-analyzed national dispute, in which many educationalists, teachers, and principals were involved.
