The Minister of Education announced in an important press conference what major changes are being made for schools in Romania, and this is because he confirmed one of the serious changes to the Education Laws that target high school entrance exams, which can be organized by all colleges.
The Minister of Education talks below about this process that will expand the possibilities of colleges to make their excellence classes, but also about how the exams could be organized, what kind of subjects they could have, so you can find out more about how which was all thought by the authorities.
"Admission to high school will be organized not only in national colleges, but also in colleges. It is not a mandatory element, it is an extra chance for those colleges that want to form excellence classes, performance classes, specialization classes, whatever you want to call them. This admission competition will be held in the colleges that want this.
The exams will be organized after the support of the National Evaluation. Only after both processes have been completed, there is the possibility of integration into the calendar so that it is not delayed, so that it does not take long in the summer with the distribution of students, I can even tell you that it will be done no later than the date that we know now for the computerized distribution of students.
This is possible by supporting the National Evaluation a week earlier, and in the following week, to have our own admission contests where the colleges will decide and request this. They will request means that they will also request the elaboration of subjects at the level of the National Evaluation Center, or we will also see the availability of other entities.
We have already discussed with the Romanian Academy, and there is availability through its institutes to be supported in the development of those subjects. Anyway, they will be developed at the national level at the centralized request, announced in time, of those colleges that want to organize their own admission in addition to the national assessment, for one class out of 10, for 3 classes, it is the freedom of each college.
Once he decided this, all the exam tests will be part of the secondary school curriculum, the Romanian language and mathematics will be. If you are asking about the difference compared to the National Evaluation, I am convinced that the structure will look different when it comes to the own admission competition of the national colleges."
