However, compulsory military service is not on the agenda, the ministry said.
Magyar Nemzet reported recently that preparations for building two new military high schools have begun in Hódmezővásárhely and Székesfehérvár.
The ministry told Népszava that “the purpose of the investment projects is to make sure that the military schools and colleges earlier closed by the Socialist governments should again provide a firm background and recruitment base for the Hungarian armed forces.”
The schools were shut down in 2004 after compulsory military service was abolished.
