Most of the articles I would be able to dig up are in Hungarian. Like the thread op said, PISA scores are generally used around here and they are not nice. Like he or she said, education affairs are "not great" nowdays. The government increases centralisation, forcefully decreases teacher authority and freedom, the wages are still very low (even though multiple raises had been promised), the things you need to learn are way too much and not particularly useful et cetera.
"forcefully decreases teacher authority and freedom"
"the wages are still very low (even though multiple raises had been promised)"
Just curious (I don't know anything about actually living in Communist times/system) - isn't that what it was like under Soviet [rule|influence]? What's different this time?
Many of my friends, especially the older ones say that it's pretty similar to the socialist era around here :D I don't know myself, been a kid around the shift of the regimes.
