Students in Moldova will be able to develop their digital skills, but also critical thinking and creativity at the National Center for Digital Innovations in Education “The Classroom of the Future”, inaugurated today. Here, over a thousand teachers each year will also be trained to use digital technologies in the education process, IPN reports.
Attending the inauguration ceremony, Prime Minister Pavel Filip said that in the computer age students can no longer be taught using old methods, and in the near future 90% of the jobs will require digital skills, which that can be acquired in the “The Classroom of the Future”.
“It is our duty to offer the conditions needed to raise generations capable of being creative and reinventing themselves. The tools offered by information technology are of course very good and we cannot not use them today in education, the Government press service quoted PM Filip as saying.
Pavel Filip added that can become a prosperous country through education. “I want educational institutions to produce brains. Consequently, I want Moldova’s exports to have at their core ingenuity, creativity and inventiveness,” stated the prime minister.
The National Center for Digital Innovations in Education is hosted by the State Pedagogical University “Ion Creangă”. It has cost over 12 million lei of public and foreign donors’ money.
“The Classroom of the Future” started as a pilot project in 2017 in 11 general education institutions. Its beneficiaries include more than 2,200 students and 110 teachers.
