Education Minister Ligia Deca stated on Friday that next year's budget for Education is 3.2pct of the GDP, and not 2.1pct, as reported by the press, told Agerpres.
"That's all I have to say on the budget - 3.2 not 2.1 - because I've see how it got out in the media. Yes, pupils' scholarships and the costs for the maintenance and repair of schools are also part of the education budget. We have decentralized schools more than 10 years ago and people still don't ask mayors to take care of the schools, they only look at the Ministry of Education and this is something we can change together by shifting the understanding and improving the understanding of the mechanisms that the state has when it comes to decisions and responsibilities This does not mean that it is sufficient as a percentage of the GDP," Minister Deca said at the conference called "Learn and pass on" which was organized by the National Agency for Community Programmes in the Education and Professional Training Area.
