Abstract
The operation of an educational system and its image are influenced by several factors, such as legal regulation, institutional system, forms of financing or enforcement of rights and obligations. The study attempts to give the reader an overview of some elements of educational relations in Hungary, and on the way it has shaped its Education system in the midst of its traditions and of the international expectations. Because of the scope limitations, the paper shall not focus on all the factors and contexts of Education rights, so the picture that it describes is far from complete. The first part of the article presents an overview of the educational background in Hungary. The second part looks at a range of educational rights and obligations, in order to examine those that are most characteristic and most closely reflect the educational conditions in Hungary. The last part of the article focuses on a specific educational legal protection mechanism, the Commissioner for Educational Rights.
