Abstract
The temporal and content parallels of the governmental educational reforms in Portugal and Hungary from the 2010s provide important points to the further developments. Among the two countries with similar conditions, Portugal’s educational performance, starting from a lower level at the turn of the millennium, not only caught up with Hungary by the time of the 2018 PISA assessment but also surpassed the OECD average. The Portugal reforms primarily implemented between 2011
and 2015 give somewhat different examples compared
to the Hungarian processes and the international policy discourse, particularly in the area of central curriculum regulation.
