Romania faces a significant increase in unqualified teachers, now totaling 6,300, which is double compared to last year. This issue affects students' reading abilities, with many 15-year-olds struggling to comprehend texts. The European Commission is responding by allocating over one million euros to enhance education across member states. Their plan includes improving basic skills for students, better working conditions for teachers, and safer digital technologies in schools. The initiative aims to address the alarming rates of functional illiteracy and teacher shortages, with 25 out of 27 EU countries experiencing significant deficits. Additionally, students will learn to critically assess AI responses starting next year.
