“Education descending into ruins” – Hungarian teachers refuse to take mandatory jab
According to a recent survey, nearly 19% of unvaccinated teachers do not intend to take the mandatory vaccine. These educators will be sent on unpaid leave from 1st January and may be dismissed a year later if they do not get the vaccine until then. According to experts, this will result in huge problems in the operation of Hungarian educational institutions, based on the fact that there are schools where only 40% of the teachers are vaccinated.
Based on a government decree issued last week, vaccination has become mandatory for teachers working in public educational institutions. Those who have previously been vaccinated must prove their vaccination to the head of the institution, while those who do not comply with this requirement will be sent on unpaid leave at the end of this year and may be dismissed a year later if they do not get the vaccine until then. As Hungarian news portal 24.hu reports, educators must get the first vaccine by 15th December.
The new regulation has caused outrage among Hungarian educators. Based on a recent survey carried out by the Democratic Union of Teachers,
almost 19% of unvaccinated teachers do not intend to take the vaccine.
According to the head of the union, these educators will look for other jobs if they are sent on unpaid leave. Based on the data of the internal survey, so far, 8,732 teachers have been affected by the new regulation, and almost 19% of them – 1,637 – will not take the mandatory vaccine, reports 24.hu.
According to the head of the union, huge problems can be expected in the operation of certain educational institutions if they cannot employ unvaccinated teachers.
These educators will look for other jobs if they are sent on unpaid leave because they cannot afford to drop out of work and be without social security.
Accordingly, people’s livelihoods are at stake. Secondly, those who remain in the institution will need to face extra work in order to provide the smooth operation of educational institutions.
Peaceful demonstration in Mohács
Regarding these concerns, a peaceful demonstration was organised in Mohács on Wednesday evening. The educators protested against compulsory vaccination. According to one of the organisers,
there is a school in the area where 40% of educators have not been vaccinated against the coronavirus.
If they are sent on unpaid leave, the institution will get into serious trouble, while “education is slowly descending into ruins,” commented the organiser to Eduline.
According to a participant, they are also afraid of the virus, but even more afraid of the possible side effects of the vaccine. “We believe in science, as we all want to pass on the knowledge of science to our students. We acknowledge the work of doctors and researchers. However, we believe that this vaccine was made available too early. Therefore, it should be available for those who demand it but not mandatory for those who still have questions.” In addition to the possible side effects of the vaccine, Hungarian educators are afraid of the ”inhuman amount of overtime” that can be expected by those who remain employed.
According to the Ministry of Human Resources (EMMI), vaccination in schools is close to 90%, and the new regulation will not cause operational problems. However, professional organisations think that the problem is greater than this, as vaccination varies from region to region. There are certain institutions where the proportion of vaccinated educators is only 50-60%.

Finally some great news in a country has turned “submission to the authorithy” into a virtue and basic freedoms into something to be ashamed of.
The lessons of the past century seem to have been flushed in the memory hole too quickly.
For the teachers who are not willing to participate please form a school of your own … Many parents are not willing to abuse their children into submission over these draconian mandates (not LAWS) that will have lasting effects on their children (mentally and physically). Am sure they are willing to pay for your services. We need to start finding solutions to these dictates.
I didn’t find the 24.h article. I would have liked to check the statistics because I didn’t see percentage of teachers not vaccinated.
The “there are schools where only 40% of the teachers are vaccinated” statement is meaningless because it doesn’t say anything about the overall picture. Misleading.
The 19% that refuses to get vaccinated will probably decrease when some of them realize that they will lose their jobs. In the end, the number of teachers that will have to let go may turn out to be insignificant. The school system should be able to manage without them.
Requiring vaccination for teachers and others coming in contact with the public is not a “freedom” issue.
Dear István,
We provide links for external articles we use.
There is a possibility that we already published an article and the statistics are already in that. In the case of internal sources we do not always provide the links.
FedUp,
Great Idea!
It has already been said about the doctors and nurses who won’t comply. If they opened their own clinic, they would be swamped by people wanting to cured rather than killed.
Mr.Licskay, thank you for your response. I checked the 24.h articles all the way back to Nov 17. I didn’t find the article. If the author has a link, I would appreciate it. My question is; what percentage of all the teachers got vaccinated so far. teachers with what we have experienced.
All the articles used are linked in the text.
My children attending any Place of Learning – that Educators paid by Government funding – it must be made Mandatory – for the Educators to be Vaccinated.
If educators refuse to comply – to be Vaccinated – off you go on paid leave for a fortnight.
When you return after your fortnight leave – the question will be asked of you – Do you agree to be Vaccinated ?
If answer is Yes – delighted you have re-thought your position, and when you return to this Place of Education and provide details of your Vaccination, you can then re-commence – your role – a role that is likened to a Vocation – and continue to be an Educator.
Those Educators that – after a fortnight of paid leave – continue there – No Vaccination idiotic agenda – that notify officialdom – they will not agree to be Vaccinated – simple – should be Thanked for there responce and inform the terms and conditions of your employment are as now Terminated.
Renumeration entitlements will be forwarded to you within the next 30 days.
Please sign this document we present to you – that outlines – that due to your non approval in regards to Vaccination, under Mandatory Laws in place – the Legal requirement that ALL those – who are engaged – there roles as Educators – in Hungary – paid by the Government of Hungary – tax payers money – you no longer will be employed in this Educational Environment.
Thank-You and Good After-noon or Morning – and we Wish You Good Luck – for your Future.
Black and White – my opinion and position – the NEED – of Educators to be Vaccinated.
Vaccinations saves Lives – and Education does educate you to THINK.
Educators who continue there objection to be Vaccinated – display a position that Challenges and Raises serious questions – there ability to comprehend and understand – the dangers they would be – un-vaccinated – in a Place of Learning and wider Society in Hungary.
My growing position, looking at Governments Globally – as commentated in this forum numerous times, over the past (6) six weeks, is that they have rescinded – with-drawn themselves to a position, that is saying to Citizens – Learn to Live with It.
Angela Merkel – the outgoing Chancellor of Germany – wow – they are in – AGAIN – a mess with new case numbers and deaths – but Merkel near on (9) nine months ago made the statement, that “top ups” or “boosters” as we are getting to know them as – will in all PROBABILITY become like the annual Influenza / Flu injection – that we know is widely taken by Citizens.
This statement has increasing validness to it or NEED of us – to get Boostered – which hopefully as statistical medical data is proving – this novel coronavirus – will not be disappearing from our lives – for distance of time – into the FUTURE.
We hope and pray – the Delta strain – that it does not – followed by another strain to it.
This is for Governments Globally – a Major vigilence program – the preparedness of the – What if ///
Vaccination – Saves Lives, and they will be an annual possible 6 monthly NEED – in the lives of Humans – for distance of time into the Future.
Agree 100% with the two previous posts.
I don’t know exactly how many decades have we taken the annual influenza shots but it works for us. It may be what we have to do with this virus. A small inconvenience for not getting killed by the virus.
Great news! Stand up to this tyrrany
Most people naively and blindly still trust Big Pharma, but this is the hill worth dying on.
Do not give up!
With Ivermectin almost noone would die!
And in most countries, there were no excess deaths in 2019. They just started counting people who died WITH the virus, not of the virus.
To dumb, dumber and dumbest … I do not believe there are people like you on this planet and it is people like you who make this world a horror show. So you are not only OK with someone being forced/coerced into taking a bioweapon into their sovereign bodies so you feel safe but you do so zealously. I would seriously look in the mirror and ask myself “How have I become so inhumane”. “At what point in my miserable existence did I give up living within the strength of God and how he created me to become so so afraid of living”. Was it when Rockefeller instructed our medical doctors to become pushers of their drugs – many of which you take daily just so you can survive one more day or was it when they indoctrinated you within their reality called education. (the living dead is what you have become)
NO ONE NEEDS AN EXEMPTION TO OPT OUT OF A MEDICAL PROCEDURE THAT HAS DEATH AS A POSSIBLE SIDE AFFECT.
Maybe you have been granted a few more days and you think you are okay but for many the day of “vaccination” was their last … for those people IT WAS NOT OKAY and for the many relatives who now weep and are in pain … YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL THEM THAT IT WAS/IS OKAY and your RIGHT is more important than theirs. How DARE you!
You are asking people to jump with you hoping that it will save you if your parachute does not work. What will happen when theirs does not and they find themselves in chronic pain, hospitalised and maybe dead. Will you be there to take care of their family, or medical bills or their funeral payments. No! You will be to busy eating the burger and cowering away in your little world, happy you are safe from a virus that have never been proven to exist and even if it did … you most likely would survive from.
I give up and you lot. You are too afraid to find out the truth and to lazy to take care of yourself. You are despicable.
The salary of fresh university graduate teachers in state owned schools is 350 EUR per month in Hungary. I don’t think being unemployed is much worse than earning this little working a full time job and then some – of course unpaid – over hours. Pathetic
