About the organization
The Association of Hungarian Independent Schools was founded in Budapest, on the 25th of April, 1992. For the time being, its board holds 15 presidency members, a three-member ethical and an also three-member supervising committee.
The Association operates openly. Membership can be obtained by any educational institution that is maintained by legal entities, private individuals or non-governmental and non-clerical organizations that agree with its aims. The joining procedure can take place with a written request of admission.
The Association creates opportunity for the schools to express opinions on different processes and decisions concerning them. It also provides a forum for discussing and solving their problems. It advocates the interests of the institutes, forms and communicates views and suggestions on laws-in-progress concerning their activities, and protects the schools from any kind of distinctive efforts.

- Mission: freedom of education for students, for parents, for educators.
- Vision: equal governmental financing for every kind of school maintainers (state, municipality, church, ngo), equal expectations, equal graduation process, freedom in choosing school for parents and for students
- Which kind of tasks does your organization mainly do?
- taking part at preparing of decisions concerned our sphere
- showing the power and importance of the sphere
- showing our results,
- achieving to be known nationwide by our deeds,
- proving our necessity through statistics, research etc.
About your own members of the national organization
- Description of the members of the organization:
- Schools - individuals? – Schools, kindergartens
- Which kind of schools? – kindergartens, elementary schools, high schools, vocational schools
- How many members does your organization have? – 130 (there are of course several overlaps, therefore the summa and the numbers don’t match)
- How many schools at which level?
- kindergartens: 20,
- elementary: 30,
- high school (gymnasium): 26,
- vocational school: 54
- art schools: 44 - How many pupils are attending these schools? - about 10.000
Organizational policy
Which questions and tasks concerning the organization do you emphasize for the coming years?
In our country the uncertainty and haphazardness of governmental financing (of normative subsidy from the State) is a constant problem. Not only the sum, but the principals too get changed from year to year, leaving the institutes in constant uncertainty of existence and
incapability of planning. This, of course, expands to and takes effect in the teaching-learning progress itself in independent institutions of education, from kindergartens to higher professional training.
Also we have to deal with the dissimilar support from government by non governmental maintainer (church – independent) because of the so called Vatican Agreement 1997, which maintains that the Hungarian government has to support the church if it indents to maintain educational or healthcare institutions recompensing its detriments during the socialist 40 years. For today this subsidy became twice as much as either the municipalities or the independent school maintainers get from the state. The Association of Hungarian Independent Schools had never ever any word against the church as school maintainer. We wanted to keep a reliable and friendly relationship despite all disadvantageous discrimination by the state.
The budget of education is a big sum. But this big sum is a closed and very strict one. From this sum all the education activity must be funded. Ecclesiastical and municipal and independent. If the ecclesiastical grows, no one else will be able to get any funds more.
Additionally: municipalities are allowed to pass the maintenance of their schools or kindergartens to other maintainer (foundation, church) if they think they have not enough sources to maintain the school of the settlement. By this year’s (new leadership, new government) law: if they pass the maintenance to an independent foundation, the municipality has to pay to the government a kind of a fine for 5 further years, but if they contract with one of the churches, they do not have this binding. Therefore – because of the decrease of state subsidy – the municipalities pass the maintenance of their sometimes one and only school to the church by the dozen. The church (see above) gets twice more subsidy from the state, and because of their growth in huge numbers, it is a real danger that they’ll get all the subsidy what the state plans to give for education, and then, we can close our schools, we can put cca 2500 teachers and 10000 students “out to the streets”.
Current challenges
Which challenges are for the organization the most important currently?
The most important task for the near future is to hold the association together despite of the very hostile environment, to communicate to the parents that the sphere is struggling for its and their rights, to communicate that the sphere deals with children in need: deprived, children with special needs, drop outs etc.
Information
In what information are you especially interested in?
Financing information with comparison to public schools, setups of contracts and generally everything involving strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats involving independent schools in Europe.

The Besturenraad emphasizes the value of Christian education in the life of children, youngsters and students. Education in Christian schools is strongly related to values of the parents. We are closely cooperating with the organizations of Catholic schools (KBO-KBVO) and of other independent schools (VBS).
Current challenges
Which challenges are for the organization the most important currently?
The position of Christian schools is changing due to individualization and secularization.
Demographic changes threaten the diversity of schools, especially in rural areas. The Besturenraad support schools with an analysis on this matter for their region and offers ideas about possible ways of dealing with these developments.
The position of Christian and other independent schools is an ongoing subject of public and political debate and the amount of autonomy is constantly threatened by regulations that lead to more uniformity. This requires careful study and constant lobbying.
Information
In what information are you especially interested in?
The development of Christian and other independent schools all over Europe is relevant and a reason for common reflection and action. The overall issue of the changing relationship with the respective states is a common concern.

At the moment there is a huge governmental cut in spending on special needs education (€ 300 million).

About the organization
The Independent Schools Council (ISC) is the umbrella body representing 1,260 independent schools educating more than 500,000 children in the UK, Ireland and overseas. ISC schools include the famous name boarding schools, though the majority of ISC schools are day schools which are not widely known beyond their local communities. The great majority of children in UK independent schools are in ISC schools and there is an increasing number in our overseas schools. ISC therefore speaks for the sector as a whole. ISC is strictly independent of all political parties and acts in the interests of all children.
