The formation accuses “The challenge of the current minister to the dissatisfaction of the teachers, students and students”against the background of the austerity measures in the field.
The leader of the senators gold, Petrișor Peiu, explained that the motion starts from three premises: Romania allocates the smallest weight in GDP for education and research in the European Union; PISA tests show a 44%functional illiteracy rate; And the share of young people with higher education, of 25–26%, places Romania in the last place in the EU.
The gold parliamentarians expressed their solidarity with the teachers in protest and criticized the proposal of Minister David to increase the teaching norm from 18 to 22 hours per week. Senator Sorin Lavric stressed that, according to European data, in other states the norm is lower (14 hours in Poland, 17 in the Czech Republic, 18 in Italy, 19 in Bulgaria), and the budget allocated for education in Romania, of 3.04% of GDP, is below the legal threshold of 6% and last place in the EU. “In Daniel David I see a variety of pedagogue zbir with hammer inclinations because he does,” said Lavric, quoted by News.ro.
