Romanian Government wants compulsory education from 3 years

Since 2018, in Romania, education would be compulsory from the age of 3 years. This statement belongs to Education Minister, Remus Pricopie. The Minister said that it could be amended the Education Act in Parliament or through an Emergency Ordinance, so as to be introduced compulsory education from five years from 2015.

Pricopie believes that these measures are necessary because students are increasingly unprepared and are showing very poor after evaluation exams eighth grade, and Baccalaureate.

"One skilled teacher knows what to do with a three years child and when you have a child of three years at the high group, the differences between children will disappear. We see that at the preparatory class are children who know how to read to use numbers while other children do not even understand what it is. If we keep in kindergarten for three years and prepare them properly then you care not only of his intellectual development but you take care of the child's physical, "said Remus Pricopie.
