Has the Tisza government in Hungary appointed its education minister? Respected education leader emerges

A highly respected figure from Hungary’s Catholic education sector is set to become the education minister in Péter Magyar’s incoming Tisza-led government, according to multiple independent sources. Telex reports that the party has asked the director-general of the Cistercian School Authority to take on the post, and that she has already accepted the role, although she declined to comment publicly before the new government is formally established. The reported appointment would be one of the clearest personnel signals yet about how seriously Tisza intends to pursue its promised overhaul of Hungary’s troubled public education system.
