The minister said that on November 20, the amendments to the Education Code will be approved in the Cabinet meeting and they will reach Parliament on November 21-22.

Dan Perciun said that, in parallel, colleagues from the Ministry have prepared the instruction that will need to be approved after the law is amended.
