Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.
After five years of the “My School” project, implemented by the Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” with World Bank support, 30 ambassadors have been appointed across the Republic of Moldova. They are ready to advise schools on managing budgets and consulting their communities, and their contact details are published.
The project reached some 50,000 people in 27 districts and municipalities who discussed school budgets. One hundred schools took part directly, nearly 30,000 people gave their views on education quality, and 16,000 pupils, parents, teachers and community members attended 100 public hearings. The schools learned to manage funds properly and to decide priorities together.
Valentina Ciubotaru of Rezina says her lyceum, though not in the project, adopted its activities, because “it is never too late to start”. Gabriela Vatamaniuc, a Grade IX pupil in Chetrosu, sat on her school’s board, learned how a budget works, and pupils won toilets inside the school. Her director, Elena Novac, is an ambassador and wants more schools to hold public hearings. The article lists all 30 ambassadors with contact details.
