Heinz Faßmann, Austrian Federal Minister of Education, Science and Research
“As the Austrian Federal Minister for Education, Science and Research, I am convinced that equal opportunities in education build one important column for a successful educational system. Therefore, we approved the national strategy on the social dimension in higher education in 2017 by putting a special focus on equal access opportunities to higher education for students from all backgrounds. The WAHED initiative once more emphasizes the global importance of this topic.”
