  Extracurricular activities have a significant role in increasing the disadvantaged Roma children’s school performance and compensate their socialization disadvantages. In the recent years, the study hall program becomes widely known in Hungary. Based on the literature and previous researches the study examines the needs, milestones, goals and target groups of the study hall program. This paper also demonstrates the economic and social conditions of the Integration Program, which has been in operation for 20 years, and supports effectively the development of social competences of disadvantaged social groups.

  Current and future evolutions in labour markets may be blurring lines between traditional
  employment and new types of atypical employment, making it harder to reliably assess whether
  someone is receiving any benefits at all. The basic income should be seen as a serious option in
  the future, given the changing labor market and the findings from existing cash transfer schemes.BI is not means-tested, so the amount received does not depend on individual or family income or
  assets and does not require any work performance, or the willingness to accept a job if offered.
  In this study I examine the created image by the media through the method of content
  analysis, in relation to basic income. Furthermore, it is analyzed to what extent this effect creates
  a negative image of basic income among the students of the University of Debrecen, strengthening
  the fear towards this social policy tool. Particular attention is paid to the value choices of young
  people focusing on their individualization, motivation of working and willingness to take risks.

• The transition between higher education and work

  One indicator of the labour market situation of recent graduates is the length and quality of the post-graduation period. Today, the path from higher education to the labour market is increasingly complex and flexible, with many people already working during their university or college years, while others find it takes months to find a job after graduation. The transition therefore starts during the period of study, before graduation, in the form of internships, work placements during training, or even voluntary work. Nowadays, the delay in finding a job has led to the status of unemployed recent graduates who are no longer studying but not yet working. However, the recent graduate unemployed behave differently from other unemployed groups, as they have generally not yet worked full-time and are supported by their families.

• A Hidden Stream in Medical Education

  The general aim of medical education is the same as in the case of any other ones: creating a professional person from a lay one. A special characteristic of this education is a deep rift between the lay and the professional perspective. One of the main trends of this trait is the discrepancy between the open and the hidden curricula. The contents of the hidden curricula, in many cases, cannot support the main messages of the formal one, on the contrary, they provide a different or even contradictory set of norms, values,
  attitudes. One of the main consequences of these discrepancies is that some medical students have been becoming more cynical since their entrance into medical education. The open curricula emphasize empathy, alleviating pain and suffering, the importance of trust and fidelity, and that the well-being of patients is one of the most important priorities. The hidden curricula at the same time emphasize objectivity, detachment, caution, and being suspicious against emotions. One of the outcomes of these eventually contradictory tendencies is that the ’wounded healer’ is not a precondition for becoming a healer, like in archaic times, but a by-product of medical education.

  The competences manifested in the career choice decisions refer to the success of integration
  and equal opportunities. They are able to forecast these social processes in a predictive way. The
  career choice competences connect the individual features and the social scenes, so by analysing
  them already the secondary school age group’s labour market success can be predicted.
  By studying and analysing of the competence fields with the method of revealing the sociological, psychological and pedagogical correlations it is possible to determine the labour market competences of students facing career choice, which determines the success of their social
  integration into the society at a personal level. Career choice plays a connecting part between education at schools and the labour market; therefore it has an important part concerning equal
  opportunities and integration, beyond the effect of qualification. In my study I am describing this
  process via displaying the affected competence fields.
