There are mixed opinions regarding the quality of Hungarian education
The announcement of admission results is approaching, so future freshmen will soon be able to gain their own experience of the quality of Hungarian higher education. Until then, they can listen to the opinions of active workers and students, which according to the second quarter K&H youth index does not show a very good picture: only 10 percent of students consider the training to be of European standard. Although the ratio is higher among working young people, the result of 27 percent can still be said to be more modest. However, contrary to the opinion about education, young people aged 19-29 are generally optimistic about the future, 66 percent of them think that their lives will change favorably in the near future – in fact, a record result was achieved in the research.
According to the K&H youth index, young people between the ages of 19 and 29 have a rather mixed view of the quality of education in Hungary – the financial institution announced the results of the representative research conducted in the second quarter of this year on the occasion of the admission point impact announcement due at the end of July.
The difference is significant
The opinion of active young people, i.e. those who are already employed, about education has improved in recent quarters, while that of students is still devastating – and the quality of education has a great influence on the choice of career, the subsequent career, and ultimately the income and the financial situation.
27 percent of working young people formed a specific or rather good opinion about Hungarian education, which is a high value compared to the data of the past years: the last time such good data was measured was in 2016-2017. Prior to this, at the beginning of the 2010s, this indicator was at a level similar to the second quarter of this year. The proportion of respondents who have a bad opinion of education rather than a good one dropped below 18 percent. At the same time, there is not enough data to speak of a trend-like change in this area.
