The average monthly wage of a teacher will go up by 75% to 777,000 forints (EUR 1,940) in three years.
Teachers’ wages will be nearly doubled by Jan. 1, 2025, but this requires that Hungary receive the EU funds it is entitled to, Gulyás said.
No, we are not against wage increases for teachers.
“The government also sees clearly the need for a significant wage increase in the public education sector,” Zoltán Maruzsa said.
The total central budget spending on education will come to 2,000 billion HUF, and a significant portion of the extra funding will be spent on higher education, with 15 billion HUF going to support research work at universities alone
