Summary/Abstract: Comprehensive secondary schools in Hungary were formed out bottom up during the political transition period, and became popular in small towns. A government decision (2015) organised former general and vocational education programmes into separate institutions creating critical situations in communities where one institution only could exist. Monitoring two years of the government decision, this paper presents an unexpected development.

Studying the literature of social resilience the author thinks that this unexpected development in local education might be the beginning of political resilience in the society
