Hungarian education reform school year opening teacher salary increases critical thinking in schools pedagogical assistants

During national school year opening ceremonies in Nagykanizsa and Nagybajom, Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar and Education Minister Judit Lannert outlined new priorities for the education system. The government aims to shift focus toward teaching critical thinking, creativity, and human values rather than mere rote memorization.

Prime Minister Magyar announced that the government will soon implement salary increases for pedagogical assistants and other education-support staff. He emphasized the need for predictable, long-term career paths in education, healthcare, and public service to attract young professionals, rather than one-time raises.

Minister Lannert stated the government intends to create a non-directive educational environment that fosters student interest and professional autonomy for teachers. President András Baka also addressed students in Nagybajom, highlighting the strategic importance of educators and the necessity of providing equal opportunities for children regardless of their geographic location.
