Supporting the Digital Transformation of Higher Education in Hungary
Digital technologies have transformed the way people interact, work and learn. The
emergency transition to online teaching and learning necessitated by the coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic has posed a serious challenge to instructional routines of higher
education systems across OECD countries. The pandemic has demonstrated the ability
of higher education institutions to ensure continuity in teaching and learning, but
it has also revealed that much work remains to be done to ensure digital technologies
are effectively used to promote quality, efficiency and equity in higher education.
This report, which focuses on the digital transformation of higher education in Hungary,
is a collaboration between the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Structural
Reform Support (DG REFORM), the Hungarian Ministry for Innovation and Technology and
the OECD’s Directorate for Education and Skills. Building on stakeholder engagement
and comparative analysis, the report offers an assessment of the current state of
digitalisation in higher education in Hungary, identifies policy recommendations to
strengthen the current policy framework supporting digitalisation, and provides suggestions
to help Hungarian authorities and stakeholders develop a monitoring framework and
indicators to measure the digitalisation of the higher education system.
