Thanks.<br /><br />The worst I heard about the Hungarians was that a regional government closed some Slovak language teaching schools in an area with a Hungarian minority, potentially forcing them to use a school where most teaching was in Hungarian. But it's difficult to get unbiased information.Rogerhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651462388602579339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28800663.post-1073644592589057142006-10-23T23:20:00.000+02:002006-10-23T23:20:00.000+02:00checked and it was wrong! oops sorry, i think i ha...checked and it was wrong! oops sorry, i think i have fallen victim of misinformation or my less than perfect slovak. :( <br /><br />The claim is removed apologiesMacko Uskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03854113924478223398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28800663.post-12069756497899062602006-10-23T22:27:00.000+02:002006-10-23T22:27:00.000+02:00sadly i just heard that, i don't have kids so i ca...sadly i just heard that, i don't have kids so i can't confirm, if i am wrong i am going to withdraw the remark of course. There was a Slovak teacher that told me that, but i ll double check for sure. <br /><br />I was told about a year ago that in the hungarian areas (mid-southern Slovakia) there is no Slovak taught at school but it is possible that i just misunderstood :) I ll check for sure. <br /><br />If you know it for sure i trust what you say, i ll delete it now.Macko Uskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03854113924478223398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28800663.post-37801340013635517152006-10-23T21:58:00.000+02:002006-10-23T21:58:00.000+02:00Hungarians have special schools paid by the taxpay...<i>Hungarians have special schools paid by the taxpayer that teach in Hungarian without Slovak being part of the curriculum within large proportion of state Slovak schools!</i><br /><br />I don't think that's true. My understanding is that Slovak language is a compulsory subject in all schools. The problem is often in fact the opposite. For example, the Hungarian staff at STV are officially required to hold meetings discussing their Hungarian language programmes in Slovak! <br /><br />Any chance of a source for your claim?Rogerhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651462388602579339noreply@blogger.com
