In recent days, Hungary’s designated Prime Minister, Girjeli Carraxoni, has come under heavy criticism. The mayor of Budapest was attacked for missing a language exam. The precedent of the case is that in an interview with The Economist, he answered a question about the difference between him and the Hungarian Prime Minister: “He (Viktor Orban) is short and fat, I am tall and skinny,” and later apologized for who – which. Then because he did not complete his PhD thesis while he was claiming it earlier.
The mayor said on Facebook that he did not graduate from doctoral school because he had started to become politicized. He suggested that Corvinus’ quality of career as a teacher be judged on the basis of the student’s evaluation.
It is not our duty to defend the mayor, nor does he need to, as he later admitted that he left the doctoral school there at his discretion, due to his work. On the other hand, it is worth taking a look at the topic of András Rácz, current lecturer at Pázmány Péter Catholic University on Monday. Facebook share.
Rácz gave a brief overview of the topic of university dropout, citing Gabriella Pusztai and Fruzsina Szigeti Dropout and continue to higher education 2018 Study size. The volume is completely obscure among the reasons that a large percentage of PhD students leave the university for financial, family, work, and other reasons.

A very low percentage of local students, around 3.3 percent, are trying to get a PhD, and 50 percent are unable to finish. According to the commission’s survey, the percentage of Hungarian students with a doctorate is half that of their European Union counterparts.
Another Fruzsina Szigeti wrote about this In his studies It quotes a 2015 European Commission report, which states that there are only 0.8 PhD graduates per 1,000 Hungarians between the ages of 25 and 34, compared to the EU average of 1.69. The same number is 2.65 in Germany, 2.9 in Sweden, 3.68 in Switzerland, but we are also behind in Eastern Europe, with Romania standing at 1.4, the Czech Republic at 1.3 and Slovakia at 3.1.
