Teachers threatened to strike at the beginning of the school year
Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan sent a firm message to the teachers, after the education employees threatened with strike at the beginning of the school year, stressing that the state can no longer continue the old approaches and that, although the salaries have increased, the education system has not registered a global improvement.
The state, in many fields, can no longer continue the approaches it had, was the message of Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan for the education employees, in the context of the protests announced against the fiscal-budgetary measures.
“My message for teachers is as follows: the Romanian state, as I told you, in many fields, can no longer continue the approaches it had. And, for example, in education, in these years, through a package of measures, we have decreased the teachers’ teaching norms, through different derogations, by lowering the norms, I had to increase the number, I had to increase the number, I have not seen, unfortunately, a global improvement of the education system and we see, apart from the mistakes of political decision-makers, that in many places, for example, between the class note, which a student receives and is very good, otherwise, the note for the exams that are given, baccalaureate or capacity, is a very big difference.said Ilie Bolojan, Wednesday night, at Digi 24, according to Agerpres.
