The Minister of Education, Sorin Costreie, plans to request 1,000 new security guard positions for schools nationwide during a government meeting. This initiative follows recent knife attacks in Bistrița and Pitești. Costreie emphasized the urgency of increasing security personnel in key locations, although he did not disclose the funding details. Additionally, he proposed increasing the number of school counselors and support teachers, as current figures show a significant gap in available support for students. The Ministry lacks a clear record of existing school security, with estimates suggesting only a small percentage of schools have guards. In Sibiu, security measures are also dependent on local budgets, with police providing additional safety checks.
