The Minister of Education has decided to officially send an extremely important announcement to Romanians all over the country with a series of last-minute messages that people need to know about, and this is because attention is being paid to the importance of books, but also of reading for young children, which helps them in their development.
The Minister of Education talks below about what parents can do to help their children develop better with the help of books, and separately he talks about the emergency procedure regarding the adoption of the new Education Laws in Parliament, and the issue of bicameralism, wanting an adoption their speed.
"Today, on International Children's Book Day, celebrated since 1967, we dwell not only on the importance of reading, but also on the universe of children's books. Not by chance, this day coincides with the birthday of the writer Hans Christian Andersen, famous for the way he managed, in his works, to paint the world of fairy tales. It is important to read to children and bring them as close as possible to the world of books. The way they learn to relate to the text influences their understanding and subsequently the transfer of information.
The desire to read and the taste for reading - which grow with each page turned, are, however, closely related to the books we choose to read to children or recommend. We challenge you to tell us how you choose the books you read or recommend to children. Most of all, we encourage you to tell us what books you read or recommend!
Surely, your answers will be an inspiration to others! In a world abounding with information and where everything seems to happen at the speed of light, I urge you to stop running and give yourself a break for "stories shared with the little ones". At home, at school, read to children or read with them!
Not only will you, as adults, be able to disconnect from the routine, but the curiosity you manage to arouse by reading to them or reading with them, the taste for reading and the desire to read - which can grow with each page given – they are important steps for them to want, then, on their own, to discover as much as possible of what reading so generously offers them!
I see no way why bicameralism would be suspended. The emergency procedure is a democratic procedure and the arrangements that result from, I know, the approval of such a procedure at the Parliament level are also a form of representative democracy. It is the Parliament's decision which will be the way of debate in the two chambers, this being one of them."
