This article discusses the impact of Romania's new education minister, Ligia Deca's, policy on merit-based scholarships.
Key Conceptual Idea:
Deca's initial system, designed to provide scholarships to the top 30% of students in each class based on GPA, was deemed ineffective. The article highlights the controversy surrounding the low GPAs of some scholarship recipients (2 and 3) and the subsequent introduction of a 9.50 GPA threshold for merit-based scholarships.
Further Points:
* Approximately 600,000 out of 1.4 million students receive merit-based scholarships.
* The system also offers scholarships for social need, resilience, excellence, and mothers.
* Deca has acknowledged the need for system adjustments and plans to introduce a "resilience" scholarship.
The overall message is that Deca's scholarship system, while well-intentioned, faced challenges in its initial implementation and needed revisions to ensure equitable and effective distribution of resources.
