'I invite you to start your professional development here, in our country, in the Republic of Moldova. I am confident that our country's universities have a lot to offer, including nationally and internationally accredited study programs. It is important for you to know that a diploma obtained in the Republic of Moldova is recognized in Europe. It is a pride that we have recently managed, including through the higher education project of the Republic of Moldova, to open new study programs in multimedia, IT, agriculture and medicine. Being a student in the Republic of Moldova, you will be able to participate in academic exchanges, and what is extremely important is that when you return home, your credits will be recognized. Our universities await you with renovated classrooms, laboratories, and learning spaces. If you haven't had the chance to visit the universities yet, I encourage you to do so in the next vacation,' the official stated.
