Outline: A Demonstration for Proper Education
Thesis: The main issue regarding the Hungarian education system is that the teachers are underpaid and overworked, resulting in fatigue among the instructers as well as the students.

Body I: Teaching is becoming less appealing to the younger generation.
·       This leaves Hungary with few teachers, giving them extra work.
      "Wages are incredibly low, which is the main reason why teaching is not attractive to the younger generations. Salaries are even lower if we take into consideration the salary increases in the private sector. Consequently, the beginner stock associate in Aldi receives 272,000 forints per month, while a novice teacher gets only 203,000 forints" (Woods 1).

Body II: There is not enough governmental money placed into the education system.
·       "Consequently, it happens many times that teachers have to buy colored paper, chalk, or copy paper for the classes" (Woods 1).
·                   There are constantly new institutions created to supervise education, but that money would have more of an impact going into the schools themselves. Teachers are not given the proper supplies to educate their students, so they need to take money out of their own pockets, which is not enough based on their low wages, to give their students tools to learn.

Body III: Teachers experience burnout because they are extremely overworked.
·       "Inspection introduced by the government creates tension in the staff and decreases collegiality. This is because teachers have to rate each other's work which results in pique and isolation. Moreover, the qualification process ny which teachers can advance in their career is very stressful for many" (Woods 1).           
Conclusion: By raising the salaries of the instructors and giving them less bureaucratic tasks, Hungarian education can be reformed.
