Pilot Programme Promoting Digital Tools In Public Edu Launched
A pilot scheme to promote digital tools in public education was launched in Hungary. The programme dubbed HiperSuli is a state-private-civil cooperation involving the human resources ministry, the education research and development institute (OFI), Microsoft Hungary, Telenor Hungary and the foundation for equal digital opportunities.

It will promote digital education through mobile apps and the mobile internet, first in 15 classes of one school in Budapest and four others in the countryside, the public education state secretary said in Ercsi, a project town, just south of Budapest.

Judit Bertalan Czunyi expressed hope that students included in the scheme would learn safe use of the internet as well as broadening their knowledge using digital tools. The programme will be integrated into the national curriculum, she said.
