Summary/Abstract: The new education policy, from 2011 onwards, is predominant; and public education and school-based vocational training are now the responsibility of the state. Former local government-run schools were transferred to the central state. The central educational administration has, at the same time, introduced a change in financing; input financing will be replaced by formula funding. State support for education has gone down significantly, the percentage of reduction has been most notable in relation to vocational schools – 46%. The international outlook also shows that since 2009 Hungary has been increasingly lagging behind the international average for the provision of professional training support. The majority of developed countries have responded to the economic crisis by increasing spending on education – though this country has reduced the support given to it.
