Broad public approval for reopening schools

Hungary's public is broadly behind the policy of reopening schools and making textbooks free of charge, regardless of party preference, according to a Nezopont survey published in Tuesday's Magyar Nemzet daily. Fully 78 percent of Hungarians agree with getting the school year under way as usual, with 85 percent of respondents identifying themselves as ruling Fidesz party supporters and 70 percent of left-wing supporters backing the move, Nezopont said.
