Despite the improving epidemiological data, Dr. István Stumpf, , visited the ten universities that are now changing models online on May 3 and 4, 2021
In the framework of the program, he explained the planned composition of the board of trustees at all universities, as well as the structure of the new foundation system that will come into force on August 1.
During the university discussions, mainly lecturers and students asked questions to the government commissioner . The employees received reassuring answers regarding the new financing system, because in addition to the transition from public employee status to employee status, the law guarantees, for example, the jubilee bonus for five years, while in connection with the employer's exemption, the protection equivalent to that of a public employee is maintained for one year . The employees received confirmation of the 15 percent salary increase available from September 1st, and the second 15 percent wage increase from January 1st , which the universities changing the model can already use as a performance incentive, according to a decision made within their own competence.
The students received confirmation that they will not be disadvantaged in terms of their rights, and that the scholarships will also be maintained. In addition, with the increase in resources of the Erasmus+ program, students will have more opportunities to study abroad.
