Prime Minister Viorica Dancila said on Monday, attending a school's year opening ceremony in Santamaria Orlea - Hunedoara County, that it is important that children in rural areas enjoy the same opportunities as their urban peers, mentioning that she wants the former to be able to attend a faculty in as high as possible numbers.
In her address to the teachers, parents and students, the Prime Minister mentioned that education represents a chance for the children and for the development of local communities.
"For these children education means a better life and livelihood, the opportunity to build a life purpose. Concretely, education means getting out of poverty, fighting domestic violence, better health, higher personal ambitions. (...) Education means a better development of the local communities. (...) I want you to get to the high school you want, to the college you want, in as high as possible numbers. I want you to be part of those students who pursue faculty studies and deliver. I trust your potential, of all of you, and the future is yours. For me, personally, as a Prime Minister, it is important to do everything possible to turn this into reality. For me, as a Prime Minister, it is important to leave a legacy of a high number of rural-based students who get to college. And I am proud of this legacy," said the PM.
There are 205 children attending general school in the village of Santamaria Orlea.
