The fact that school inspectorates will be abolished is not a surprise, this measure was announced back in 2022 by the then Minister of Education Sorin Campeanu. The latest news related to them, according to the proposal of an emergency order, foresees that the inspectorates will be replaced by county directorates, which in turn should be “regionalized”. The measure is part of a larger set of government austerity measures, in which it plans to cut spending, cut jobs and decentralize some institutions.

In the context of the debate on education laws, Minister Sorin Campeanu announced that school inspectorates would be replaced by delegated ministries. This does not mean that agreement has been reached on the final form of the measure. Not almost. Laws on education went through the process of development, public consultations, discussions and editing, which lasted more than 1 year before their final adoption. In fact, this period is much longer, if we take into account that these laws are considered a concrete result of the “Educated Romania” project, which was launched back in 2016. So, in the published form of the Law on Pre-University Education from July 2023, instead of inspectorates, we will have district directorates of pre-university education, which are transferred to the Ministry.
