This a relatively young Section of the Society: it was formally established on April 18, 1997. Its predecessor was the Commission on Education of the Society. It takes steps to attain that Geology should be an independent subject in primary and secondary education. In the framework of science popularizing activities collections of minerals and rocks are made for primary and secondary schools. It is planned to publish an independent journal of the Section, called Földtudományi Szemle (Earth Science Review). Its first issue came out in 2000.
