Educational facility modernization in Romania and Moldova

Overview

Educational facilities in Romania and Moldova are undergoing various modernization and renovation efforts. In Romania, initiatives include the ‘Bookster in schools’ program, a subscription-based library model in Tulcea, Brașov, and Dolj.

Infrastructure and safety upgrades continue across Romania. In Târgoviște, projects exceeding 350 million lei are underway; six schools have been completed recently, and Voievodul Mircea High School is expected to be fully renovated by the end of 2026. Future plans aim to benefit over 20,000 students across 13 additional schools and kindergartens. In the Gorj region, specifically Tismana, over 6.1 million lei is allocated for seismic consolidation and energy renovation at Racoți and Topești schools to improve earthquake resilience following 2023 seismic activity.

To address hygiene and public health, the Romanian Government has approved 7.849 million lei to modernize sanitary facilities in 97 state pre-university educational units across 16 counties. This funding targets non-compliant facilities, including those lacking access to running water and sewage systems, specifically addressing works initiated in 2025 that remained incomplete. Local authorities must manage these funds through county school inspectorates, with any unspent amounts required to be returned to the state budget by the end of 2026. Conversely, in Târgu Mureș, a budget rectification proposes reducing funding for 13 educational units by nearly 2.98 million lei, with the largest reduction affecting Gheorghe Șincai Technological High School.

In Moldova, school environments are being upgraded through community and international support, including robotics equipment in Drăsliceni and a modern chess space in Rezina.
