Beginning with a brief survey of the national system, this work covers provisions since 1945 for adult education in Hungary. Educational objectives and other theoretical aspects of adult education in Hungarian society are described, together with the eight year elementary program, technical and vocational adult schools, general and professional colleges and universities, a proposed gymnasium (general education) sequence of study, and guidelines for using textbooks (including programed materials). Such subject areas as Hungarian language and literature, general science, practical law, and hygiene are outlined and explained in detail. Matriculation examinations, student certification, evaluation techniques, lesson planning, and other facets of adult teaching are also discussed. Eight tables, a bibliography, and a diagram of the educational system are included. (ly)
