"In 2019, we bought substantial increases of the teachers' wages, including for university professors. We want to continue these actions so that the incomes reflect the statute of the teaching staff. In respect to investments in the university infrastructure from the development and investments fund, which is already operations, we are funding projects of universities," Dancila stated.
