The Government has approved a national program to enable ethnic minorities to learn Romanian. Unlike previous governmental programs, this one will be available to adults as well, not just preschoolers and students.
According to the Ministry of Education and Research, the program also includes other new elements, such as the implementation of multilingual education. It involves the teaching of non-grammar matters in both Romanian and in the respective native language.
Additionally, concrete activities are envisioned to expand the environment of communication in Romanian through extracurricular activities, such as educational camps, contests, workshops, didactic symposia and others. Special programs will be developed to improve the language skills of employees.
Thanks to the approved program, about 6,000 teaching and management staff will be taught Romanian. Another 13,000 adults from various professional categories, including adult refugees from Ukraine, will attend Romanian courses. Also, about 4,000 foreign students, including refugee children from Ukraine, enrolled in Moldovan educational institutions, will attend various educational programs in Romanian.
