Romanian Education Min, Unionists Want To Turn “Good Laws” To "Convenient" – President

He criticized Andronescu for meeting with the unions, saying their representatives bear the same responsibility for the lack of reform in the sector as the education ministers so far.

Basescu said the problem of the "Spiru Haret" University must be solved based on the law, but it is presented in such a manner as if that entailed all the problems in the system.

“The current minister, as well as former ministers, are aware of the problem of Spiru Haret for years (..)," Basescu said, adding the situation must be solved based on the law and on a report he would also like to see.

He said there are politicians who teach both at state universities and private universities.

“There are state universities that provide unauthorized degrees too,” Basescu said.

Romania’s education minister Ecaterina Andronescu on Thursday said the laws regulating the education sector must be put up for public debate and also discussed in Parliament, arguing she wants ministry officials to complete talks with the unionists until August 14 in order to draft effective laws.

She said during the meeting with unionists in the sector that she wants the set of laws in Education “to please everyone”.
