The regional system of education, 2011

Summary/Abstract: The study analyzes key education-related data from the 2011 census, comparing them with data from the 2001 census. This method provides us with an opportunity to examine the dynamics of schooling in different parts of the country. Completing high school (passing the secondary school leaving exam) has become relatively homogeneous in Hungary, though the biggest proportion of the so-called “educated” are located in developed areas. In contrast, areas with poorly-educated citizens have remained remarkably unchanging; dynamic movement can be found only in big cities. The study also examines the educational situation of the Roma population, and it appears that minimal dynamics of education and a large number of low-educated persons exists here; and this low level of education has worsened due to such persons’ labour market situation. Without help being offered, the difference in educational attainment levels indeed risks disturbing the social peace.
