4. Challenges and tendencies

4. 1. Main problems and questions of the existing evaluation system in Hungary

• There is a need to formulate the aims of measuring activity in public. The financing of measuring is insecure because the feedback of results in not completely settled, especially for the school maintainers. Ensuring publicity of the results and providing access to the data requires regulation as well.
• The examination system formed for the evaluation system can only provide well utilisable evaluation information if the data can be analysed by the institution, maintainer and branch, too. For this, further development tasks have to be carried out: standardisation of the tests applied for secondary school leaving examination, collection of the results, publicity for use and analysis on branch level.
• Developing sets of exercises (test contents) measuring performances, creating a stabile institutional background serving it and the continuous evaluation of the operation of secondary school leaving examination system are all goals for the coming years.
• In the current evaluation system in classroom procedures the emphasis is mainly put on discovering negatives, as many shortcomings and mistakes as possible. It is an absolute prerequisite for realising co-education, that an evaluation practice is successfully established which explores the positives in order to increase students’ applicable knowledge and make it more thorough.
