The number of students in Transnistria studying in Romanian is increasing, but schools teaching in the state language continue to face pressing issues. The annual Promo-LEX report on human rights indicates that for the first time in the last 15 years, there are over 2000 minors in the separatist region of Moldova learning in the Latin script.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Educational institutions subordinate to Chisinau face infrastructure problems, are subject to discriminatory tariffs, and are subjected to smear campaigns, say Promo-LEX experts, quoted by Realitatea<\/a>. According to them, farmers in the Dubasari district remain subject to abusive restrictions on access to agricultural land.<\/p>\n

The report also demonstrates an intensification of identity propaganda and indoctrination processes, especially among children and young people. The year 2025 has been declared “The Year of the Transnistrian People”<\/em>, and hundreds of “patriotic”<\/em> activities have aimed at consolidating an artificial identity, distinct from that of the Republic of Moldova. The militarization of education is also noted, including the participation of minors in camps and their enrollment in military-profile institutions.<\/p>\n

In addition, the separatist regime is extending its control over the informational and digital space, by adopting “amendments”<\/em> that allow the blocking of online resources with content considered offensive or “disrespectful”<\/em>, including targeting the LGBT community and the rights of its members.<\/p>\n
