In order to strengthen the recognition of the adult education profession, foster cooperation, and enhance the social appreciation of adult learning, the Hungarian Folk High School Society (MNT) proposed in 2025 that adult educators should be celebrated every year, in connection with the International Day of Education, designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 2018.
The proposal of the MNT was endorsed by the European Association for the Education of Adults (EAEA), and with the intention of establishing a new tradition, the first International Adult Educators’ Day in Hungary will be held on 24 January 2026.
With the involvement of various organisations and institutions, several events will take place simultaneously across the country on this day.
The central event is organised by the Hungarian Folk High School Society and its partners.
