Mircea Miclea discusses the declining attractiveness of the teaching profession in Romania, attributing it to underfunding and poor policies. He emphasizes the importance of quality teachers for good schools and expresses concern over the frustration among educators. Miclea suggests that improving the profession's appeal could revitalize education. He also criticizes recent budget cuts affecting social scholarships for disadvantaged students, calling it an absurd measure that neglects the needs of vulnerable children.

He advocates for strategic thinking in education policy to address these issues effectively.
