Comparing the education systems of Central-Eastern European countries – policies and curricula

Comparative study; curriculum; East-Central Europe; education system; regulation. My study compares education systems in the East-Central European region from the aspect of regulation and curriculum. Curriculum regulation is one of the main tools of education management. Each country has its own legislation in public education, having centrally developed curricula or standards. In my research, I am looking for the common features of these countries (Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland), which unify the region and assume similar functioning. My main question is: can we talk about unity in the regulation of education and curricula?
