Parliamentary Speaker Laszlo Kover, Human Resources Minister Zoltan Balog and Education State Secretary Rozsa Hoffmann addressed school-year opening events in Hungary on Sunday. Speaking in the Reformed Primary School in Liter in western Hungary, Kover stressed the importance of morals and the ability of making a decision between good and bad and true and false as basic guiding principles in today's society in Hungary. He said teachers had a great task in teaching those principles.
In his address in the Cistercian Lajos Nagy Secondary School in the south Hungarian city of Pecs, Zoltan Balog called education a common national issue. He also said that restoring respect towards teachers was important.
At the Pecs event, Hoffmann noted the overall reform brought about in public education by a new law.
Earlier in the day, Hoffmann attended the school-year opening at the Budapest Semmelweis University, where 3,400 students start their studies this year, 700 of whom come from abroad.
