The site will provide soon study offers and the conditions of admission to education institutions, invitations to training courses and national and international seminars. The site www.admiterea.md will also host a list of job vacancies for students, a section with announcements about extra lessons and a forum for discussions where the visitors will be able to express their opinions about the educational process and point to violations in the educational process and admission etc. The organisers say the launch of such a site was conditioned by the increase in the number of Internet users. According to the National Regulatory Agency in Telecommunications and Informatics (ANRTI), their number rises by 95% yearly. A number of 120,000 people used the Internet in 2004 as against 250,000 persons in 2005 and 500,000 persons in 2006. This means that every sixth person in Moldova either uses the electronic mail or looks for information.
