Szijjarto: Development only possible when technology, education complement each other

Development is only possible when the highest level of education and the most advanced technologies complement each other, the minister of foreign affairs and trade said at the inauguration of a student quarter in Dunakeszi, near Budapest, on Saturday.

The 32,087sqm facility comprises a secondary school with 20 classrooms and a technical and vocational school with 26 classrooms, a gym for each one, a shared canteen and a town swimming pool.

Young people in and around Dunakeszi will now have the opportunity to acquire the knowledge needed to use the most cutting-edge technologies, Peter Szijjarto told the event.

“Everything is changing rapidly … and the one important question is who will be the winner of these changes…” Szijjarto said, adding that the winners would be those who are prepared for the changes.

“To have such professionals available requires us to provide the highest level of education and training possible, meaning we have to create the necessary conditions,” the minister said.

“We can all be proud that we’ve created the conditions for the most modern and most advanced education here in Dunakeszi…” Szijjarto said.

Meanwhile, he said Dunakeszi was the most developed among Hungary’s smaller regions, and this school construction project guaranteed that Dunakeszi and its surrounding area would remain the most developed small region with the most to offer in the future as well.

He added that the project would also ensure that Dunakeszi would “contribute a lion’s share” to Hungary’s future economic growth and the training and vocational training tasks needed for the country’s development.

Justice Minister Bence Tuzson said it was up to the new school’s students and staff to establish the student quarter’s traditions and the institution’s reputation.
