0Schools of Protestant sponsorship are educational institutions with a denominational profile. They also complement the public educational system in Hungary and open up opportunities in order to shape education work in a pluralistic society on the basis of pedagogical, religious and ideological character. This volume deals with the Protestant-Lutheran schools in Hungary, their programmatic self-concept and profile, their most important reference systems and more recent developmental processes. Numerous quotes from pedagogical programmes grant visibility to the conception of the human being, objectives and concept of education by these schools. The self-concept of these schools is ultimately considered and discussed from an international comparative perspective.
