It’s official: the majority of the Hungarian higher education in possession of private foundations
Change language:
Hungary’s university reforms have reached a new stage with the registration of nine public trust foundations this week, according to the Prime Minister’s Office. István Stumpf, the government commissioner for reforming higher education, said in the statement that the foundations would put the country’s competitiveness “on a new footing”.
The process transforming the sector will continue as the foundations’ trustees and university senates work together to turn opportunities arising from the model change into tangible results, he added.
Foundations will be able to rise above administrative constraints,
create their own strategies, and run performance-focused operations, the statement said.
The foundations are public trust funds with a public function, providing
guarantees for the state and the universities,
since they must stick to designated goals and use their assets exclusively in the public service, it added. Following a Constitutional Court ruling, the new model must guarantee the sustainability of the higher education system and its institutions as well as their autonomy, the statement said.
Orban moved to over-drive, he doesn’t think he will win the next election. So, steal whatever you can while you can.
Did anyone tell anonymous that Mr. Orban will be running in the next election? Presently, poll show that FIDESZ will be reelected.
Anonymous should either prove that Mr. Orban is stealing or he should shut up. It would be great if Mr. Orban would take people like Anonymous to court and sue them . It is totally irresponsible to accuse someone of theft without proof just because of political differences.
