The Minister of Education is also talking about a program to bring healthy meals to schools for students all over Romania, its funding for the next 5 years being 1 billion euros, a very large one, but which is necessary for students to have of good food when I go to school.
"Semester averages are waived, the obligation to support semester theses is waived, a single general average will be required at the end of the school year, and the teacher will have much more autonomy for the purpose of a rhythmic evaluation throughout the school year.
There were several work options, it was agreed that the minimum number of grades for a discipline should be equal to N+3, where N is the number of hours allocated weekly for a discipline. In other words, for a discipline that has 2 hours per week, in an entire school year, at least 5 grades will be required for the students.

The positioning of the February mobile vacation in the entire national education system was established. There are 30 counties that decided that the February holiday should be in the last week.

We decided to propose the establishment of a national integrated program called "Healthy meals in schools". The program is to have a duration of 5 years, 2022-2027, to be managed in partnership by us and the Ministry of Agriculture, to have a financing of 1 billion euros for the 5 years, to connect funding sources from the national budget, and non-refundable and refundable external funds. In total, these funding sources will have to generate 1 billion euros to finance the program so that we have a significant expansion of the support program to reduce school dropouts."
