Textbooks circulating in Hungary strive for the maximum, overburden students with facts to be studied, also, their vocabulary does not adapt to the students’ age peculiarities, their images suggest an illusoric view and most exercises focus on checking the taught material and do not give ground to individual creativity.” (Hungarian Ministry of Education, 2006)
"Teachers, by position, have the right to
a) choose the material, and the method of teaching and learning based on the educational and pedagogical program
b) choose the textbooks, aids and tools to be used based on the local curriculum and the approval of the staff.” (Public Education Law)
Finding the best textbook is not only the right of teachers, but also their responsibility.
