Crisis in the new academic year: 700 missing teachers country-wide
Change language:
With the beginning of September, schools are open to greet enrolled students once again. However, as 24.hu reports, there might not be enough teachers to take care of them due to the crisis of the education system.
Although 24.hu has already written about the fact that the Hungarian education system is in ruins, the government seems to care about other educational issues, such as the banning the gender studies that would help in closing the serious pay gap in Hungary.
At the end of the last school year, at the beginning of July, 24.hu shared a research on the number of teachers that schools were looking for from September. At that time, there were 2,400 teachers missing from the education system all over the country – right now, this number is at 700.
Thus, at the beginning of the school year, 700 teaching positions are yet unfilled in more than 200 towns, cities in the country.
