Re-planning library education
Abstract
The Government adopted in December 2014 a new development concept for higher education, laying down the relevant strategic goals till 2030. As a first step of its implementation, the structure of specializations was transformed in June 2015. Following the introduction of the Hungarian Qualifications Framework, under the leadership of the Ministry of Human Resources Development (EMMI), in co-operation with the Hungarian Rectors' Conference, the review process of training and outcome requirements started in July 2015. In March 2015 a new advocacy organization, the Board of Library and Information Science Training Institutions was set up. Its members formed a working committee for consultation on the future of LIS education at the BA and MA levels, on the criteria influencing the training and outcome requirements as the framework of LIS education, as well as other tasks waiting to be solved.
