Sindicatele din educație cer ca profesorii să nu mai verifice dosarele pentru bursele sociale: „Nu sunt inspectori fiscali”

Two education federations demand that local authorities, not teachers, verify social scholarship applications for students from low-income families. They argue this task distracts educators from their primary role and exposes them to legal risks regarding personal data protection. The Ministry of Education responded that teachers' involvement is legal and part of their duties, which the federations contest. They cite a study suggesting that responsibility for managing social scholarships should be transferred to local administrations. The federations call for urgent legislative changes to relieve teachers of this responsibility.
