Ministry: Hungarian vocational training 3rd in OECD rankings
When it comes to employment opportunities of graduates of vocational training, Hungary ranks third, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
The OECD Education at a Glance 2023 report presents the performance of education systems in a global context, showing that the employment rate of people aged 25-34 with professional qualifications in Hungary “is exceptionally high”, with the country coming third after Norway and Iceland, the culture and innovation ministry said on Saturday.
Fully 38 percent of 24-34-year-olds obtain a vocational diploma and are less exposed to the risk of unemployment than those with general secondary education, and can expect a 31 percent higher salary, the ministry said in a statement.
