The Minister of Education sends a very important announcement regarding a decision that will have an effect on all schools in Romania and millions of students, and this is because he would like a national education law with very serious changes to be adopted this year.
The Minister of Education also talks about the tests in schools, both those based on saliva and those used in the past, saying that a perfect solution does not exist, and this is because one has not been found in other countries in Europe by the authorities of there.
"I said that in March we will have to launch a debate that has clear, well-defined ideas on the table, so as not to start the debate. I would like to have this law on higher education, and a law on national education, this year, by the fall would be preferable.
Or this year until the next parliamentary session, anyway there must be a law that will be analyzed by all those involved, there must be a law that will put on the page the conclusions of the Educated Romania project, which has benefited from many years of debate, it was, as I said before, the widest public consultation process.
Didn't anyone propose that a saliva test be 100% accurate, I said from the beginning. There were those tests with pharyngeal exudate, with higher accuracy, but which were rejected, so those based on saliva are not good, those with higher accuracy were rejected, there can be no question of PCR tests, then what is good?
If someone is looking for the perfect solution for a problem that has not been solved in any state of this world, not even at a scientific level, because it is something new for which the health systems were not prepared, the SARS-CoV epidemic 2, he is sorely mistaken.
To reduce it to a level where it can be managed. We had the week that just ended a number of 2069 tests based on positive saliva in schools, of which two thirds were confirmed by RT-PCR. So it is about 1300 students identified with saliva tests, and confirmed with PCR tests. It is about 1300 students who, thanks to the use of these tests, were able to be identified in the early stages of the disease."
