Summary/Abstract: The lack of quality teachers as a topic appeared in the international literature at the beginning of the 2000s. The OECD already indicated at that time that the proportion of older teachers in the profession is increasing and that the provision of adequate supply is an increasing problem. Since then, the supply of properly qualified teachers and the infrastructural development of schools have been causing more and more headaches around the world. The experiences of recent years show that these difficulties do not escape Hungary either, and at the local levels, various solution methods and routines are being developed to deal with the difficulties that occur on a daily, institutional level. The study presents these local solutions, based on the analysis of interviews conducted with teachers, heads of institutions, and experts during the research exploring the issue of teacher supply in Hungarian public education commissioned by the European Commission Representation in Hungary.
