Residents from the left bank of the Dniester are increasingly speaking Romanian. If the authorities would accept classes in Latin script, parents and students would be prepared, but the problem of teaching staff remains.
“Knowing how to write and read in Latin script is one thing, knowing the subject matter is another,” said Eleonora Cercavschi, the director of the “Ștefan cel Mare și Sfânt” High School in Grigoriopol on Realitatea TV.
In turn, the director of the “Alexandru cel Bun” High School in Bender, Maria Roibu, argues that the existing discussions are more about the gradual introduction of Romanian language teaching in some schools. In her opinion, the transition would not necessarily be complete, for the entire study program, to Latin script.
Many teachers in the region know Romanian, but the situation they are in sometimes prevents them from using it openly in their work.
