Leadership transition in Hungary's National Teachers' Corps

Overview

Péter Horváth resigned as president of the National Teachers' Corps (NPK) on October 4, 2026, citing institutional responsibilities, other duties, and family reasons. The NPK, an organization established to unify educators in the public education system, has faced criticism regarding its representation and potential changes to mandatory membership rules.

Following the resignation, Vice President Botond Miklós Rázsi assumed temporary leadership. Rázsi, who also serves as a school director, stated that the organization functions as a professional body rather than a political one. Due to uncertainty regarding the Ministry of Education's future stance toward the organization, new presidential elections have been rescheduled from November 2026 to February 2027.
