A group of 60 Jewish high school students from Hungary arrived in Israel last week to start studies at institutions run by the Youth Aliyah Department of the Jewish Agency for Israel.

The students, between the ages of 14 and 16, arrived here without their parents. According to present plans, they will study here for three years, and then their parents will join them.

Some 12,000 students will study in the coming school year in Youth Aliyah institutions, among them some 3,000 from Ethiopia, 800 from the Soviet Union and 100 from Hungary.
