On May 16, 2025, the Hungarian Pedagogical Association held its conference, „The Future of School – Utopias and Dystopias,” where sixteen prominent Hungarian educational experts discussed the role of institutional education in a world facing potential catastrophe. The conference aimed to determine if pedagogy has a relevant message in today's critical economic and political climate. Despite diverse approaches, participants agreed on the necessity of schools in the future and the need for adaptability to change. While debates arose concerning methodologies (ideological vs. technocratic), foundational perspectives (past-based vs. present-extrapolated), and future visions (dystopian vs. positive), the lively discussions suggest that the conference will certainly have a follow-up.
