He mentioned that an important objective of the PNRR, in line with the 'Educated Romania' Project, is to reduce school dropout, and the Government will approve a programme through which 2,500 schools will benefit from funding to prevent early school leaving, especially by children from vulnerable families.

Prime Minister Ciuca said that, given that all reforms and investments in the PNRR are included in the governance programme, but also the importance of this project for Romania, the monitoring of making the PNRR operational will be taken over by the prime minister.
