The start of the school costs tens of thousands HUF to the families

Less than one week left from vacation: On the 3^rd of September, about 1.3 million students will start the school year. The start of the school costs tens of thousands forints to the families this year, although the price of textbooks typically did not changed from the previous year.

The Ordinance of the Ministry of Education does not allow the textbook publishers to exceed the price limit, that was announced last year, so the price of text books is typically the same.

The government provides 5 billion 649.9 million HUF for the supply of free textbooks. The maximum support per child is 12 thousand HUF. (MTI)
