the school year resumes in romania online Online school courses resume in Romania after Easter holidays

After Easter holidays, schools in Romania resumed their activity online in order for students to to continue their classes from homes during the coronavirus pandemics, whose outbreak led to the temporary closing of schools and other education facilities on March 11th.


Health Minister Nelu Tataru has told a private TV channel that schools could be open in late May or early June. We must be very careful with the children, Tataru went on to say adding that some protocols were being considered for the children's comeback to schools.


In turn, Prime Minister Ludovic Orban has given assurances that the authorities never took into consideration the idea of freezing the school year, adding that the government's objective was to ensure all the conditions needed for the pupils and students to complete their studies and take their national exams in the context allowed by the epidemiological situation.


However, according to the announcement made by the Education Ministry early this month, the structure of the school year has not been modified so far and is supposed to end on June 12th. State secretary with the Education Ministry, LuminiĊ£a Barcari, has called on teachers in a message broadcast by the public radio station to carry on their efforts and keep children connected to schools and school activities.


LuminiĊ£a Barcari: "We must stay at home, be patient and try to work online as much as possible. Of course we must space out these activities and not exhaust the children, we must take into account their age. Some are complaining they are working too much while others say they there is too little to study. So we must find the right balance in everything. Irrespective of the time courses are resumed, this school year will certainly be completed. We have working alternatives for all national exams."


The Education Ministry has published the curricula, from which the objects of the second semester have been eliminated for those taking the baccalaureate or the national evaluation exams. The measure has been taken in agreement with representatives of the students, parents and teachers and those from the National College of Rectors.


The state secretary with the Education Ministry, Luminita Barcari has announced the institution has made available five training tests weekly for any object of study in order to help students improve their studies during the time when courses were suspended.


Conceived in accordance with the new curricula, these tests have been posted on the website of the Education Ministry. Luminita Barcari has also mentioned the 'Tele-school' programme done in cooperation with the public TV channel so that students from the last years may benefit from support offered by volunteer teachers to get ready for the exams they are supposed to take at the end of this school year.
