At the end of February, the Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) will host a conference on the current state of education and its most pressing issues, under the title MCC Budapest Summit on Education.
Among the invited speakers will be Fernando Griffith, former Paraguayan Minister of Culture, former Brazilian Secretary of State for Family Affairs Angela Gandra, and British historian and writer Nicholas Tate.
