Moving on to workload. The recent reform increases the fixed teaching hour workload from 18 to 20 hours/week. It doesn't make Romania an outlier (but it wasn't one before either). 4/

And before I end this, reminder: Romania already has some of the lowest PISA scores in Europe. Which sort of makes sense when you realize what kind of morons run the country (and don't get me stared on the opposition). Have a wonderful day y'all. 8/8 worldpopulationreview.com/country-rank...
