According to the Fundamental Law the state shall enforce the right of every Hungarian citizen to education by extending public education and making it universal and by a system of open and banded funding of participation in education. The Hungarian State shall ensure the exercise of the right to education by providing free and compulsory primary education, free and accessible secondary education, and higher education accessible to all on the basis of ability, and by providing financial assistance to those who receive education, as provided by law. The specific aim of ethnic / minority education is to strengthen and develop identity through language learning, and the acquisition of ethnic history, culture and traditions. The communities of national minorities in Hungary enjoy wide-ranging support in the maintenance of institutions, the development of institutional structures, the development of textbooks and curricula, teacher training and cultivating cultural-educational relations with the kin-state (motherland) both from a legal perspective and in terms of financing.
