“The Hungarian Higher Education further strengthens the common European values”

There were ministers of state for education from 47 countries in Bucharest in order to discuss the future of the European Higher Education Area and the progress of the Bologna Process.

Hungary was represented by Norbert Kiss dr. Deputy State Secretary for Higher Education, who emphasized the importance of the European Higher Education in strengthening the economy and employment in Hungary. The most important mottos of the conference:

quality-oriented development and the consolidation of the Higher Education. The Ministry of National Resources has completed the development policy of the Higher Education on this basis. The Hungarian universities need to attract students and get financial resources in an intensifying competition with other European universities. As a result of this competition the number of Hungarian students participating in European exchange programmes will need to be tripled in the coming years. The Campus Hungary programme is due to be launched in July and will hopefully contribute to this objective.
