A contentious debate over a supplementary high school entrance exam, in addition to the National Evaluation, erupted within Romania’s Chamber of Deputies’ education committee. Disagreements amongst committee members escalated into arguments, prompting a resumption of discussions. Ultimately, the committee adopted a proposal put forward by the Social Democratic Party (PSD). Liberal Party (PNL) deputy Raluca Turcan, PSD deputy Mihai Ghigiu, and USR senator Ștefan were involved in the debates. The adopted variant’s specifics remain unclear, but the decision highlights ongoing political divisions surrounding education policy in Romania. The outcome signals a win for the PSD regarding the structure of secondary school admissions. Further details are expected following a full parliamentary review.
