The new Minister of Education, Sorin Costreie, is considering implementing checks on students' backpacks and metal detectors at school entrances to prevent weapons from being brought to class. This initiative follows a recent knife attack at a school in Bistrița. Costreie acknowledged the challenges of checking large numbers of students and suggested that harsher penalties for offenders could deter such incidents. He emphasized that these measures are a priority, although no specific timeline has been set. The recent attack involved a seventh-grade student who injured a teacher and a fellow student, highlighting the urgent need for safety measures in schools.
