"These specialists represent the future of education, and the support we provide through allowances, mentorship, and practical facilities will help them develop professionally and stay motivated in the teaching career," the minister mentioned.


Young specialists who go to work in schools and kindergartens benefit from a one-off allowance of up to 200,000 lei, a 75% discount on teaching hours during the first 5 years, compensation for teaching materials, support for housing and utility costs in rural areas or district centers, up to 62 days of annual leave, and assistance from a mentor teacher.
