The “My School” Lesson at Ion Pelivan Lyceum in Răzeni: Quality Education Involves the Whole Community
Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.
Ion Pelivan Lyceum in Răzeni, Ialoveni district, has adopted the “My School” tools and involves parents, pupils and the wider community in decision-making. Since a first public hearing in autumn 2016, the school has opened its budget to scrutiny, as described in an article produced under a project implemented by Expert-Grup.
Director Natalia Răileanu organised the first public hearing on her own initiative in autumn 2016. Participants were initially silent, but the lyceum was then accepted into “My School” for 2017. At the second hearing, parents, pupils and teachers chose renovating the sanitary facilities as the most urgent problem. Ialoveni District Council offered MDL 250,000 and the school planned another MDL 200,000, so that 15 new toilets and 2 showers for the sports hall should be ready by next autumn.
The school’s Administrative Council, made up of teachers, pupils, parents and local partners, approves key decisions, including the timetable and optional courses. Council chair Artur Budac stresses the need to persuade people, while pupil Elena Rău says pupils’ opinions are now taken into account. Within a year, the school’s 899 pupils and 65 teachers learned that education also means participation, responsibility and involvement in planning and spending the school’s money.
