The European Commission is addressing the rising number of unqualified teachers and functional illiteracy among students, allocating over one million euros for educational improvements. The initiative aims to enhance basic skills for students, improve working conditions for teachers, and ensure safer digital technologies in schools. In Romania, the number of unqualified teachers has doubled to 6,300, reflecting a broader European issue where many teachers feel unheard and a significant portion are nearing retirement. Local interventions exist, but funding remains a critical barrier to implementing effective educational measures. Starting next year, high school students will learn to critically assess AI responses.
