This has been reported by the Ministry of Education and Research. The overall retention rate stands at 94.9 per cent, which the ministry considers to be a good figure.
This is particularly encouraging given that last year’s figure was even higher – 99 per cent. According to the ministry’s data, in 2024, 97 per cent of employed graduates from teacher-training universities remained in the system, and in 2024, the figure was 92 per cent. The ministry is thus indicating that, year on year, an increasing number of employed young teachers are remaining in the system.
Over the past six years, only 112 cases of permanent dismissal from the system have been recorded, the Ministry adds.
In this regard, the ministry emphasises that a number of support measures have been introduced in recent years for graduates choosing to work in the education sector. These include a one-off grant of up to 375,000 lei, as well as a reduction in teaching hours to 75 per cent during the first five years of employment.
Young people also receive 4,000 lei per year towards the purchase of teaching materials and equipment, as well as a rent allowance of 1,000 lei per month (for those working in rural areas, district centres or the Gagauz Autonomous Region).
