“We now know that the System of Conductive
Education is specifically a humanist social education, a complex educational
system which takes serious account of emotional and cognitive functions.
Many scientist regard it as one of the most
outstanding developments of 20th century rehabilitation and education work,
since as regards integration, it was far in advance of its time.
Pető’s Conductive Education occupies a
significant place in the system of education of the 20th century.
Pető put his opinions and theories into effect
in real life with great precision and their validity was proved by the results
which were achieved.
His education demonstrated the complex nature of
the human organism, and following on from this the programme and system which
made use of the connections and interactions reshaped rehabilitation work and
in essence laid the foundations of the independent science of conductive
education and conductive education collage.
For his work professor Pető received several
disciplinary warnings, but also -at the end of his life- recognition. “
