Summary/Abstract: Secondary school commute has important role within the educational system of Hungary. As part of our investigation, commuting networks were analysed by three years (2013, 2016 and 2019), in which the institutional databases were aggregated into settlement level. The decreasing number of students participating in the commute is caused by two factors, demographic processes and the effect of the Hungarian educational policy (namely the reduction of the minimum school-leaving age to 16). This decrease is primarily detected in the rural and backward areas, but intensive and increasing zones of commute is observed in the agglomerations of larger towns.
