The managers of early education institutions in the municipality of Chisinau are warned not to allow colleting funds for New Year matinees, IPN reports.

In an informative note, the General Division of Education, Culture, Youth and Sport said the performances staged in kindergartens before the winter holidays represent the end of thematic projects implemented at institutions. These can take place with or without the participation of parents, but the collection of funds is banned.

To ensure the respect for the rights of each child and not to put the parents in a difficult situation, the extra-curricular activities will take place without the invitation of persons from outside the institution. To stage surprise moments, with the presence of Santa Claus, Winter Fairies and other mascots and fairytale characters, the parents of children or teachers can be asked to play such roles.
