Beschreibung

The project aims at financing part of the costs of third level studies by providing loans to higher education students through Diákhitel Központ Zrt. (Diákhitel).

Ziele

The operation is fully supportive of the Lisbon objectives and consistent with the Bank’s Innovation 2010 Initiative (now KE). Better education and training significantly raises a country’s long-term growth. Investments in higher education (HE) and in research are key to the knowledge-driven economy, and essential in fostering employment creation, growth, and social cohesion. Implementation of a student loan programme is fundamental for ensuring that financially-constrained students have access to HE.
