“We discussed how to modernize higher education, including the record-breaking 2024 university admissions, which saw a nearly 15% increase compared to the previous year. This historic achievement is thanks to the 500 million lei invested in universities,” said Perciun.

The Minister emphasized the value of such motions for informing the public about the ministry’s work, highlighting efforts to attract teaching staff, improve salaries, and reduce bureaucracy in the education system.

“The opposition regularly submits simple motions to bring specific topics to the table. I appreciate the chance to report to the citizens about our work over the past year and a half. We welcome further opportunities for dialogue in parliament,” he added during an appearance on Moldova 1's "Pe Față" program.

“We aim for a high-performance education system, focusing on speed and continuous reform,” Perciun concluded.
