The Constitutional Court on Thursday threw out a referendum initiated by teachers’ trade union PSZ, the union said in a statement sent to MTI.
In its Thursday ruling, the top court, acting as a tertiary forum, scrapped a secondary decision by the Kúria, the supreme court, which had given the green light to two out of the five original questions, PSZ said.
All five questions, concerning the qualification of teachers, the number of classes at school, as well as school closures, had earlier been rejected by the National Election Committee (NVB), which said at the time that answering the questions would need “special information, which cannot be expected from voters … and they could therefore not assess the ramifications of their decision”, MTI wrote.
PSZ regretted that the Constitutional Court had “taken over the arguments of the NVB … taking voters for minors”. Both organisations, they said, “assume that voters could not decide whether the number of weekly classes should be reduced by three or if schools for disadvantaged children should have the same curriculum as institutions of the elite.”

People who sign up as teacher have one duty Teach. If people prefer to do something else, they should quit the teaching position. With AI, there may be less need for rioting teachers.
People need more information, yet where allowed to vote on ridiculous anti EU National consultations with results plastered all over Budapest. Also, Maria, you have no dog in this fight, so sit down and shut up, this is Hungary, not north america where you live.
marievontheresa – how is your Health ?
You know, your IDOL – we ALL know your IDOL, he who can do no harm nor wrong, in your eyes – Victor Orban – do your children and grand-children Christian names – ALL start with the letter V ?
Goebbels – the “infamous” Propaganda Minister of Hitler’s Government – he and his wife, named all there (6) six children – commencement of there Christian names with H, after the “infamous” Adolf Hitler.
YOU would be that senseless to do same – through your fanaticism ?
Your “styled” fanaticism, compulsive behaviour disorder, is not good for your health, in fact quite dangerous to you and OTHERS.
We know – Victor Orban – CONTROLS -the Media, controls the Judiciary, Rules by Decree in Hungary, that is not aligned to the principals – or the CORE of a DEMOCRACY.
We know – that Victor Orban – wants to CONTROL – all Education componentry broadsheet in Hungary.
marievontheresa – do you know your IDOL is COLLAPSING this country, the country of your DNA ?
Go to the couch, and seek professional advice, for I’m concerned for your cognitive health condition.
Maria’s Big Mouth, you only know insults. How about using your mind (that God gave you). Children should not be used as pawns in a dispute. Children are in school to be educated at all costs. Ask yourself, can Hungarian children compete against Chinese children? Can Hungarian children meet the needs of an everchanging economy?
When you look at countries where teachers’ unions are given ultimate power, the children suffer. In the US, where teachers’ unions are extremely strong, more than 70% of the children cannot read or do math at grade level. However, the American teachers are happy to teach Critical Race theories (all white children are oppressors, and all black children are victims) and gender studies. Many teachers try to convince young people that they were born in wrong gender and help children to receive damaging hormones and mutilation. Teachers’ unions must never be given ultimate power to control education. Parents are the guardians, and it is their responsibility to bring up healthy and happy children.
