Moreover, the federation proposed education minister Ecaterina Andronescu to immediately start talks in view of applying the principles backing the strategy ‘Education and Research for Knowledge Society’,  undertaken by union federations," according to the federation’s secretary general.
 
Andronescu said Tuesday, after talks with union representatives, that teachers’ wage hike will be included in the draft state budget, stressing, however, that a 50% wage hike for university professors is too high.
