What should we change in the Hungarian education system?

Hungarian education system has its benefits, however, as everything it also has some disadvantages. Students have so many lessons that they cannot learn languages, do sport, do free-time activities or have social life.
Learning languages has become so important nowadays. On most of the job interviews the first question is how many languages the candidate speaks. In some cases, English is not enough. Sometimes the employers expect three or more languages that the employee can speak fluently. Secondary schools ensure language courses, but these are not effective enough. After graduation most of the students are not able to use the language they learnt in secondary school but they do not have enough free time to learn languages by themselves or by the help of a tutor.
Doing sport is also very important especially for the youngers. In Hungary students have PE lessons every day. However, the students do not support this. Their problem is that these PE lessons are very old-fashioned, and in most cases, jogging is the only option that one can do in a class. There should be more possibilities for the students as every people have different abilities, so they should try different sports. Unfortunately, most students are not capable to do sport in their free time, because their timetable is full.
Students in elementary schools should try as many activities and hobbies as they can, for example painting, singing or acting. This opportunity is not ensured in the Hungarian education system. On the other hand, they could do this only after their classes, and according to the laws elementary students have to stay until 4 p.m. at school. In other words, they are too tired to have some hobbies or even to meet with their friends improving their social and communicating skills or read a book they prefer to improve their comprehensive skills. Our education system should give a lot more freedom to the students to do what they are interested in and to improve themselves effectively this way.
In conclusion, the students’ days are very well pre-planned; it does not really give them any spare time to spend because after school, when they go home, they still have to study more. This way it cannot be expected from them to learn several languages, do sports, and try out some hobbies. The time they spend in school should be equal to the time they spend at home and with their friends. This could be a balanced life.
