| Summary: | The paper presents an analysis of the structure and functions of modern education systems
in Bulgaria and Hungary. The analysis focuses on Geert Hofstede’s cultural orientations to explain the
similarities and differences between both countries. Main research methods are literature review and
observation. Results show that educational systems present the main set of cultural values in Bulgaria
and Hungary, where the main difference lies in the masculinity/femininity dimension. There is also an
acute need of general cross-cultural training for both students and teachers because of the increasing
number of foreigners settling in the countries. These results could be used for cross-cultural education
practices and research in education studies. The paper presents a key topic in the development of
education systems in the Danube region. |
