On Thursday, the government will approve a memorandum by which it undertakes to offer additional guarantees regarding the salary of begginer teachers and investments regarding the infrastructure of educational institutions, Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca said on Thursday, told Agerpres.
At the same time, the head of the Executive expressed his belief that once the memorandum is published in the Official Journal, the teachers will understand the commitment of the governing coalition and will make the decision to return to the department.
"Today, precisely in order to provide additional guarantees regarding the implementation of the measures we have adopted, we will approve a memorandum within a statement that we will approve in the Government and publish in the Official Journal.

"This is not just about the relationship between union members and the Government, it is about the impact and consequences of these decisions on millions of children, on millions of parents, and, most importantly, on hundreds of thousands of children who are going to supports the National Exam and the Baccalaureate. All these issues I am convinced that our teachers understand and also understand the call for trust and reason that they make from the Government table to end this strike and to be able to complete and close the school year, concretizing everything we discussed in official documents that are absolutely binding for the Government of Romania in respecting the commitments we have towards the education system," Ciuca also stated.
