Who are poor, can not be learned...

The Hungarian education is a bad joke. Government's strategy to exclude the poor from education. A special feature of the Hungarian education system is that institutional structures and the structure of educational programmes are not aligned with each other. The system's institutional structure and the presence of programmes allowing early selection. The system's content structure, the uniform and general phase of education has extended, and secondary level education may be characterised by increased opportunities for transition. The general phase of education lasts until the age of 16 in Hungary's education system. Participation in secondary education, offering a wide variety of programmes, is fairly high. Within secondary education, the proportion of students studying in programmes leading to a secondary school-leaving certificate and offering transition to tertiary education is around the international average. Many of the gimnáziums have begun to teach a foreign language intensively. This is called nyelvi előkészítő évfolyam, literally "Language training class", or simply 0 grade. After 2005, students will have less foreign language lessons. At schools where there is no 0 grade , they may be required to introduce them because the majority of Hungarians do not speak more than one language, or only speak their parents language or dialect. Most students will finish High School at the age of 18 or 19, or when they complete Year 13.Those who had at least an intermediate level language exam weren't required to pass a language exam at Matura, but has become compulsory since 2006. In language training classes, a student must pass an intermediate level language exam in the second year, and the same level Matura in the third year. Before students get their degree, they must pass an intermediate level language exam in the foreign language of their choice. English and German are the most popular. The number of Spanish-learners has been growing in the last few years. Recently a high number of students chose Esperanto and Romani languages. The latter is said to have a relatively small vocabulary and easy grammar. 9 million Hungarians were expelled from the politicians to the learning. I have were warned today that teenagers from the poorest families would be put off studying for degrees at prestigious universities if they adopted Viktor Orban's recommendations. In his review of university funding, the former minister executive argues for a free market with universities setting the fees they think they can command.  Most graduates would also have to pay back their fees at a higher rate of interest – plus inflation.  However, Orban's review includes suggestions to reduce the anxieties of poor students. He suggests universities that charge more than Ft 2 millió should be scrutinised to ensure that they give sufficient financial help to students from low-income families. He recommends that low-income students be given a higher sum for their living expenses. And graduates will not start paying back their fees until they earn Ft 100.000, up from Ft 150,000 now. But those who campaign for a better social mix at universities expressed frustration with the Orban review .that a free market in fees could lead to "social sorting" unless universities offered generous bursaries.  Those universities wishing to charge higher fees must demonstrate how they will offer a genuinely 'needs blind' admissions system, with high-quality, high-value bursaries to offset the deterrent effect that higher fees and debt can have on those from the poorest backgrounds. There was a danger that higher fees for the most prestigious courses would make them "the preserve of the most privileged, I was concerned that higher fees would mean students from non-privileged backgrounds "might still be deterred from applying in the first place. "Those in top-paying jobs would end up making smaller contributions than students on middle incomes, Labour has warned that while well-paid graduates would be able to pay their fees quickly, for those on middle-income, the cost would be spread over many more years and so be greater. Higher fees could deter students from gipsy and ethnic minorities from attending university. Many ethnic minorities are already under-represented in universities. If further reduce the life chances of gipsy and minority ethnic communities the government fails...
