Abstract
State-organized school education in Hungary goes back to the mid-eighteenth century. After the end of the Ottoman occupation of the historical territories of the Hungarian crown (1689), the country assumed a special status within the Hapsburg Empire. Under the influences of the Enlightenment (and partly in opposition to it) Maria Theresa set out to ‘civilize’ and ‘Europeanize’ the country. In 1777 a decree was issued with the title Ratio Educationis (The Educational Plan).
