  • Notes
  • The counting unit is local site which means that local sites, which are part of a bigger entity, are counted as a separate educational institution.
  • All vocational grammar schools provide both general and vocational education.
  • ISCED 4 is a separate programme path.
  • Government-dependent private schools refer to schools maintained by Church.
  • The not applicable code at the columns on government-dependent institutions and private independent institutions indicate, that there are no such separate educational institutions in Hungary.
