Summary/Abstract: July was the authorities’ response to protests against low salaries and other systemic problems in education that have been ongoing for over a year and a half. The failure to resolve them will lead to further tensions, reducing the quality of Hungarian education, increasing social inequalities, causing shortages of skilled labour, and hindering improvements in the economy’s competitiveness. The education system’s problems also open up further disputes with the EU institutions and push back the prospect of Hungary’s access to the reconstruction fund.
