This still isn’t right. The fact that the pay rise had to be so large reflects the situation that for a decade teachers were underpaid. In fact, with this pay rise teachers are still not back to where they were 10 years ago when they had their last massive pay increase. And just like the last time, this pay increase ignores the fact that for the years that preceded it, teachers had to “go without”, take on additional work, etc., just to make ends meet.
Like other aspects of the national policy making, Hungary is unable to figure out what a country needs to compete in the 21st century.
