Hungary to open first Ukrainian-language school
Starting on Sept. 1, the first Ukrainian-language school in Budapest, Hungary, will enable students to study in both Hungarian and Ukrainian, Viktor Mykyta, Ukrainian governor of Zakarpattya Oblast announced on Aug. 23.
Ukrainian children living in Budapest will begin their education at the new school, with Hungarian taught as a second language.
“A historic event for Ukrainians in Hungary, the significance of which is hard to overstate,” said Mykyta.
“The first state-run Ukrainian-Hungarian bilingual secondary school and gymnasium has been officially registered in Budapest. A separate building, which meets all the current legal requirements, has already been prepared to facilitate the educational process.”
The funding for the school is being provided by Hungarian government.
On July 2, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he had discussed the opening of a Ukrainian school in Hungary with Hungarian PM Viktor Orban during his visit to Kyiv.
