Although scheduled for discussion on Saturday, the Hungarian parliament unexpectedly took up the Government bill for the amendment of the numerus clausus at its session on Thursday. Count Klebelsberg, Minister of Education, was not present at the session.
The rapporteur stated that the amendment of the numerus clausus law is necessitated by internal and external reasons. He admitted that the bill was a concealed continuation of the numerus clausus principle and recommended the selection of a parliamentary committee of 21 members for the study of the proposal.
The opposition deputies who participated in the discussion attacked the proposal, declaring that it demonstrates the hypocricy of the Government. The right to education should be freely exercised without regard to difference of religion, they urged.
