Members of the Roundtable on Higher Education signed a joint declaration regarding student contracts, on Wednesday.

Minister of Human Resources Zoltán Balog announced after the meeting that an agreement had been reached in all issues, resulting in a more flexible and proportionate system. Different repayment obligations have been developed for different fields of profession, depending on the costs of training, Balog said. The roundtable will continue its work and further talks will be held on the structure of departments and the reform of financing.

David Nagy, President of the National Students’ Union (HÖOK), stated that a "solution to ease burdens" had been found, and burdens on those who had signed student contracts have been successfully reduced.
