(Hungary Today) The Budapest Metropolitan Government Office has given permission for the opening of an elementary and high school established in Budapest by the lobbying organization of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan — liberal news site 24.hu reports.
Answering the portal’s questions, the acting head of the institution said it was a private school of “Turkish origin” that had not yet opened its doors because it was “under construction.” He did not reveal, however, from what financial source the school would be funded, how large the institution’s budget would be, or whether the school would be open exclusively for Turkish students or non-Turkish pupils could also attend. It is also unclear whether Muslim religious education will play a key role in the institution’s curriculum or not.
