| description |
Facing the prospects of rapid aging and
demographic decline over the coming decades, Hungary needs a
highly skilled workforce to help generate the productivity
growth that it needs to continue fueling a convergence of
its living standards with those of its West European
neighbors. Skilling up Hungary’s workforce should start by
equipping youth with the right cognitive and
social-emotional foundation skills. International research
has identified three dimensions of skills that matter for
good employment outcomes and economic growth: cognitive
skills, such as literacy, numeracy, creative and critical
thinking, and problem-solving; social-emotional skills and
behavioral traits, such as conscientiousness, grit, and
openness to experience; and job- or occupation-specific
technical skills, such as the ability to work as an
engineer. Hungary can do significantly better in preparing
its next generation with the right cognitive foundation
skills. This report focuses on cognitive skills and examines
results for Hungary from the program for international
student assessment (PISA), which assesses the mathematics,
reading, and science competencies of 15-year-olds. This
report lays out a policy agenda consisting of two parallel
elements: first, improving socioeconomic conditions for
children and youth in general and in school through policies
targeted to the poor and disadvantaged such as welfare and
employment policies for parents and education support for
children. Second, promoting equity and reducing
socioeconomic segregation in basic education through
inclusive education policies. |
