The Hungarian Reform Pedagogical Association – Jena-plan Research Group was founded in 1995, and the Budapest-Capital Regional Court entered it into the register of social organizations on March 21, 1995. The pedagogical organization was created as a voluntary association of individuals (practicing teachers, college and university students and instructors, parents, interested individuals) to spread and nurture the domestic and international traditions and values of the child-centered reform pedagogical approach. As part of this, the Association also took on the task of introducing and disseminating the efforts of the German pedagogical trend known as Jenaplan, which has significant international traditions.
