Over 500 young educators are set to begin their work in educational institutions across the country from September 1st. The data was presented by the acting Minister of Education and Research, Dan Perciun, at the end of the first stage of submitting files for the distribution of graduates in schools, reports IPN.

According to the official, the Ministry of Education will contact graduates who have not yet participated in the distribution contest, to inform them about the available opportunities and to encourage them to join the process. Those who have not managed to submit their files in the first stage will be able to participate in the additional distribution rounds, and the authorities claim they are prepared to hire new teaching staff even during the month of October.

Dan Perciun further specified that, this year, the one-time employment allowances for young educators have been increased, reaching up to 375 thousand lei. The financial support is offered to graduates who choose to teach subjects with a shortage of teaching staff, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science, but also Romanian language in educational institutions where teaching is conducted in languages other than Romanian.

The allowances are intended for young teachers who choose to work in schools outside the municipalities of Chisinau and Balti.
