Hungarian govt official: Teachers to receive 75 percent wage increase in the next three years
Interior ministry state secretary Bence Rétvári discussed wages hikes for teachers with civil organisations on Tuesday.
At a press conference after the meeting, Rétvári said teachers will receive a 75 percent wage increase over the next three years.
The government is committed to raising the wages of teachers, the state secretary said. Accordingly, teachers will see their wages rise by 21 percent next year, 25 percent in 2024 and 29 percent in 2025, he said, adding that their average wage will increase to HUF 770,000 (EUR 1,845). He said Monday’s agreement on EU recovery funding for Hungary would be “an important step” for the wage increases.
Meanwhile, Rétvári said he had been surprised by a call by teachers’ unions for a public education roundtable to be set up, arguing that a public education strategic roundtable had already been established years ago. This, he noted, comprised teacher organisations, unions, student associations, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the Hungarian Art Academy, employers and public school operators.
Talks are also ongoing with strike committees, Rétvári said, noting that over the summer and autumn the government had consulted with teachers on the conditions in schools.

So here’s a Politician going on the record that our Hungarian teacher’s wage rise is subject to Brussels Bureaucrat, Leftist Elite, Soros Lapdog funding from the European Union.
Am I the only one thinking this is pretty insane?
Norbert – Certainly not in your Thinking.
SIMPLE – this Orban Government, just PROPAGANDA driven, that this article FILLED with un-truths and FACTS.
Education in Hungary through 12-13 years – of TOTAL NEGLECT driven by out of this Government that has just FAILED to Invest in EDUCATION.
Education is decades behind “other” European countries – and WILL take billions of forints to bring it up OCERALL to standards of the 21st century.
Educators – expected again the DRIP-Feed – process if that EVER was to HAPPEN – by this SHAMBOLIC Government.
Education opens WINDOWS of Opportunities but without Educators continuous and growing Rightfully for “greener pastures” to share their passion and skills, because Educators take a “vow” that is classified – as a VOCATION – and then Opportunities in Hungary – what are they TRUTHFULLY across the broad spectrum of life in Hungary especially for the youth?
What are they especially without a form of EDUCATION.
