The new Hungarian National Core Curriculum was announced in January 2020, and the curriculum frameworks became available soon after. The authors took part in the development of the curriculum of physics. In this communication we present the main features of these new curricula. The learning outcomes of the core curriculum, the learning contents and the arrangement of the topics in the frameworks have been renewed in order to promote a more efficient way of physics teaching. The curriculum relies on the methods of active and phenomenon-based learning, it includes up-to-date contents, focuses more on practical topics, and follows the principles formulated by the OECD.
