Do it here <https://t.me/AEGEE_Europe> ! <https://aegee.blogactiv.eu/2018/08/11/aegee-europe-stands-up-for-the-freedom-of-education/> AEGEE-Europe regrets to witness the *possible* *shut down* of *gender studies programs in Hungary*, an attack to the right to free education and even to the freedom of expression. AEGEE-Europe stands for the *liberty of each individual* to pursue their education following their interests and passion, and to develop their personality at the fullest. We believe that *no government has the right to decide which subjects are worth to be taught and which ones are not*. Moreover, the official motivation of the Hungarian government to ban gender studies from University, namely that studying this discipline is *“economically irrational”*, goes *against our belief that education should aim at forming conscious and well-informed citizens*, and *not only* at *preparing young people for the labour market*.
