Permanent reform – or something else?

Looking ahead to the longer-term it is useful to urge reforms, for which Ignác Darányi’s era serves as a good example. Fastidiousness is important in higher education, however perhaps the quality of the education and the diplomas awarded would better express the aims of recovery from a diluted system. While changing the structure of training is important in the interests of competitiveness, progress requires changes in content. The cooperation that has been established to date between education and research indicates that progress can be achieved without greater reforms, if there is a purpose and will to this end. Taking everything into account, the order in which the treatise’s excellent thoughts related to the future are realised need to be considered. This is because it is questionable to what extent the all-decisive tasks related to content-quality work can be solved via a further series of organisational and structural changes in a higher education system currently undergoing transformation.
