Hungarian teachers’ unions call for appointing commissioner for education
Teachers’ trade unions PSZ and PDSZ have called for a meeting of their joint strike committee next week, and called on the prime minister to appoint a commissioner for education, in an open letter on Friday.
In their letter, the unions said “the government declines talks with unions referring to a pending European Commission decision concerning funds to cover a pay hike (for teachers)” but added that the government could start giving teachers a substantial raise immediately, from the central budget. They also said they refused the argument that “the Left and Brussels are hindering a pay hike in education”.
The unions called on Viktor Orbán to “appoint a commissioner without delay who has expertise in all areas of education and who is not associated with recent fiascos” to be a partner in talks on structural changes in education, managing a shortage of teachers, reducing the burden on teachers, a review of the national curriculum, and modernisation of the education system in general. Addressing those issues must not be further delayed, the unions added.

If this recommendation is APPROVED – and “moving forward” – it is progressive in its THINKING process, and its concept is approved, by the Orban led present Government of Hungary – it is IMPERATIVE – the appointed person has NO association, nor plays an active membership role, in the Fidesz Political Party.
Education – can’t be RUN – under a DICTATORIAL process in Hungary, as is the Functionality of this present Orban led Government, like Media and the Judiciary, without being open to Ruling by Decree.
Education must be in Hungary – RUN – under DEMOCRACY – permitting opinions and peoples voices, ideas and contributions and in-put/ideas – being PRESENTED – without Governmental Interference, Rulings and Control.
It is NOT accepted – it is Government driven PROPAGANDA – that teachers educators salary’s and “needed” investment into all the Componentry’s of Education in Hungary – the WRONGLY used Excuse, that through NO funding from the European Union – that NOTHING can be provided – at this TIME.
Teachers/Educators – we did NOT create the situation with Brussels – that sees us “cut off” from FUNDING.
That poignant BLAME – rests entirely on the shoulders of the Orban led Government of Hungary – there AGGRESSIVE Objectionable undertones attitude, that were “enveloped” – in the corruption of their funding distributions received from the European Union, THEY as a Government – have DESTROYED on-going arrangements – with the European Union, that is and will continue to place – as it is at present – Education, in Hungary, in a Cataclysmic MESS.
Don’t continue to TRY is the MESSAGE to this Orban led Government of Hungary – to MOVE blame, for it is of your doing, your creation, your Political Ideas and Philosophy’s – driven by the “Creeds” of the Fides Party, under their Leader and the present Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Orban – that WE as a country are in the SHAMBLES – factually and worsening we are at present.
EDUCATION – opens WINDOWS of OPPORTUNITIES.
Hungary – the FUNDING – for EDUCATION billions of Forints – salaries of EDUCATORS being bought up to levels that are of the 21st century, and NOT pre 1989 – the “needed” funding, just like our Health System – Hospitals in particular – that are likened to 3rd World Country’s – were is FUNDING going to be RECEIVED from ?
EDUCATORS – those thinking or “aspiring” to be Educators – those who are in the present system – qualified EDUCATORS – what’s the FUTURE ???
What’s our FUTURE in Hungary ?
Education, like in the Medical Profession – is a VOCATION.
In accepting saying YES to a vocation – salary, conditions, opportunities, job security – should be ALL part of a VOCATION.
Respect for Educators – respect for Doctors, the Medical Profession, and “other” vital professions of “needs” of CITIZENS – it’s OUR taxes Government are spending – Don’t FORGET – in the 21st century, not pre 1989 – which are DRIVEN – by the LEADERSHIP – the IMAGE – presented to CITIZENS – out of a Government.
Hungary – what IMAGE of EDUCATION – is COMING out of the present Orban led “dictatorial” – possible, IMPLODING – Government of Hungary ?
It’s a VERY BLACK picture that the Nadir of its propelled rapid journey, the END – will be SCARY – Disastrous, in its
after- effects.
