Magánfenntartású

Magánfenntartású is a Hungarian term that translates to "privately maintained" or "self-supported" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of education to describe institutions or programs that are funded by private individuals, organizations, or tuition fees rather than by public funds. This can include private schools, universities, or specific courses and training programs.

The concept of magánfenntartású implies that the entity providing the service is not reliant on state subsidies or government grants. Instead, it generates its own revenue through various means, such as charging tuition, receiving donations, or operating as a for-profit business. This financial independence allows such institutions to have greater autonomy in their curriculum, administration, and educational approach.

While magánfenntartású institutions can offer specialized programs or cater to specific needs not always met by public education, they may also present accessibility challenges due to costs. The term is a factual descriptor of the funding model and does not inherently carry positive or negative connotations, simply indicating the source of financial support.
