According to the minister, “most of the teachers and the didactic and administrative staff always had the interest of the students at the center of their concerns”.
“Thank you all! All this proves once again that the majority of education employees do their duty responsibly and professionally. Unfortunately, too often, public attention is focused on exceptions, and they end up creating an incomplete and sometimes unfair picture of the whole system.
Congratulations to all graduates who took the Baccalaureate exam and especially to those who passed. We are also with those who did not succeed this time. I encourage you to continue your preparation and register for the August session. I am convinced that you can turn this experience into a new beginning and that you can succeed.” Mihai Dimian also sent on Saturday.
