00:00:02Attention, broadcast dedicated to people with hearing impairments,
00:00:24good evening and welcome to the news. Here are the headlines of this
00:00:29discharges of up to 25 edition. The draft fiscal policy for
00:00:322027 was published today for public
00:00:36consultations. The goal is for citizens to earn more and
00:00:39for each entrepreneur to be able to invest more. It is the basis for a
00:00:43tax system with a reduced number of
00:00:45taxes.
00:00:47The National Bank of Moldova has increased the base rate by 0.5
00:00:51percentage points to 7.5%
00:00:54annually. The measure aims to limit price increases and
00:00:58bring inflation back to the target of 5% in the medium
00:01:02term.
00:01:04The Ministry of Education is preparing one of the most important changes
00:01:08to the school curriculum. The new study programs give
00:01:11greater attention to digital education and critical
00:01:14thinking.
00:01:19The Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova presented today the fiscal
00:01:22policy for 2027.
00:01:25The project is subject to public consultations and proposes fewer
00:01:28labor taxes, more support for investments and more
00:01:32taxation of vices. VAT for medicines will not increase and
00:01:360% VAT will be maintained for the sale
00:01:39of basic housing for individuals.
00:01:41fizice.
00:01:44In the new fiscal policy, the government proposes that essential products remain
00:01:48with the same VAT as now. Bread, most
00:01:52dairy products, fresh vegetables and fruits will continue
00:01:56to have 8% VAT. The same rate remains for
00:01:59medicines or other essential pharmaceutical
00:02:02products. In the Horeca sector, it is proposed that VAT increase from
00:02:068% to 12%. In
00:02:08comparison, the Munteanu government wanted a 20%
00:02:11tax. A 12% rate will also apply
00:02:15to livestock, plant cultivation, and horticultural
00:02:18production, as well as for other non-essential food products. Moldovan
00:02:22cheese will remain at 8%. Mozzarella, on the other
00:02:25hand, and other products of this type will move to
00:02:2812%. I think it's fair, I think it's just.
00:02:32People should have access to essential Moldovan products. For agriculture,
00:02:35the approach must be balanced. Farmers must remain
00:02:39competitive. And in the case of exporters, the effect is
00:02:42neutral, because VAT is reimbursed. For electricity
00:02:45and gas, the Ministry of Finance has made calculations based
00:02:49regions of the country. Kyiv on basic consumption. For the first 150
00:02:52m3 of gas used by a household for one month, the
00:02:56current VAT of 8% will remain. And the first 100
00:03:01of electricity will not be taxed, 20% VAT
00:03:04will apply only for consumption exceeding
00:03:08the announced thresholds. This winter nothing changes,
00:03:11so I repeat once again, the measures will enter into force only after
00:03:15April 1, 2027. Approximately
00:03:1886% of households during the cold
00:03:21period will fall below the level of
00:03:24150 m3 of gas, so the vast majority of
00:03:28basins there were households will not be affected by this
00:03:32VAT tariff. Our objective is to protect
00:03:35basic consumption, especially of vulnerable families and moderate
00:03:39consumers.
00:03:41level of the Danube, the Paks The government also proposes increasing the personal exemption by
00:03:4410,300 lei per year, in other words, 4,000 lei
00:03:48from the annual income of an employee will not be
00:03:50taxed. On the other hand, the
00:03:53He explained that the lack of these munitions taxation of vices will increase, most tobacco products excise duties will increase by
00:03:58the monetary policy interest rate 20%. And for nicotine vaping liquids, such as those in electronic
00:04:02cigarettes, by
00:04:04the NBM, the measure is necessary 50%. Sugary drinks, energy drinks and pyrotechnic
00:04:07products will be taxed for the first time, and
00:04:106% will also be taxed on the total volume of money
00:04:14wagered in gambling collected by companies.
00:04:17Moldovans spend 10 billion lei annually
00:04:20on gambling, it is a very
00:04:23large amount, it is more
00:04:26than the annual transfers from the state
00:04:30budget for the health sector. The year-on-year increase in vaping consumption
00:04:34is about 30%, a very high growth rate, it worries me as
00:04:37a parent, we will increase excise duties in the case of vaping by
00:04:4150%, a very ambitious increase and we hope this will
00:04:45discourage the consumption of these products. The 0%
00:04:48tax regime for reinvested profit will also be extended
00:04:51for companies with turnovers or assets
00:04:55of up to 200 million lei. At the same time, the
00:04:59income tax paid by banks and other financial
00:05:02institutions will increase by 50%.
00:05:05We consider that a supplementary temporary contribution for
00:05:082027 is justified. The financial sector has
00:05:11had good results. The state has great needs,
00:05:15society needs solidarity. There will be
00:05:19VAT for goods ordered from outside the country, with a
00:05:22fixed tax of 12 lei per package. The excise duty on diesel is
00:05:26proposed to increase by 20 percent. For car
00:05:29purchases, for now, VAT is not introduced, but excise
00:05:33duty is introduced for electric cars. The fiscal policy
00:05:36will be submitted to a vote only after it passes public
00:05:40consultations.
00:05:42And today the Republic of Moldova faced an electricity deficit,
00:05:46but not as pronounced as in the last two
00:05:49days. Even so, the situation in the region remains tense, while
00:05:53the parliament, some city halls and other institutions
00:05:56have announced measures to reduce consumption. Prime Minister Vasile
00:06:00Tofan warns that in the coming days the country might not even
00:06:03be able to buy emergency energy to cover the deficit.
00:06:07deficitului.
00:06:10If we want to iron some clothes, if we want to
00:06:14turn on the air conditioner to cool the room, but everyone with
00:06:18their own needs and everyone who needs it,
00:06:21please do it outside peak hours, do it before 7
00:06:25PM and preferably after 11 PM. This also prevents us from
00:06:28much higher bills, because the electricity we buy for emergencies is very
00:06:32expensive. I want to ask businesses as well, yesterday I was walking through Chisinau, it looked
00:06:35like a disco, too many lights on. Parliament claims to
00:06:39have intensified actions to reduce consumption. Among
00:06:42these are disconnecting some electrical equipment, temporarily switching
00:06:46off the decorative lighting of the building, temporarily giving
00:06:49up hot water or even giving up using elevators.
00:06:53Similar measures have been announced by the Chisinau City Hall and those
00:06:57in other regions of the Republic of Moldova. In Chetrosu, Anenii Noi district,
00:07:00public street lighting will be temporarily suspended. And we
00:07:04received the decision to completely disconnect street
00:07:07lighting in our commune. We also
00:07:11reduced - right at the city hall institution, the air
00:07:15conditioning, instead of three, we left
00:07:18one. We all live in one country, in one house,
00:07:21called the Republic of Moldova. Now each of us at home tries
00:07:25to reduce expenses, because that will hit us in the
00:07:28pocket later. The Republic of Moldova recorded a trade deficit of
00:07:3239 MWh between 4 and
00:07:365 PM. Nevertheless, the energy situation in the region remains
00:07:39difficult, and limited availability on foreign
00:07:43markets makes electricity much more expensive, especially during
00:07:47peak hours. The government warns that these costs will
00:07:50inevitably be reflected in the tariffs paid by
00:07:53consumers and urges citizens to reduce consumption during
00:07:57peak hours. The crisis is caused by high energy
00:08:01consumption, due to the heat wave and the limited
00:08:04availability of electricity on regional
00:08:07markets. In several European countries,
00:08:11authorities call on citizens to be careful with
00:08:14electricity consumption and to save whenever
00:08:18possible, so that rationing is not necessary. Hydropower
00:08:21production is low in several states due to drought,
00:08:25and demand is higher either for irrigation or
00:08:28for cooling rooms.
00:08:32Slovenia's only nuclear power plant in Krško will reduce
00:08:36energy production due to the low level of the Sava
00:08:38River.
00:08:48Hungary is the country in the most difficult situation, due to the extremely low
00:08:53nuclear power plant has reduced, temporarily stopped production. The
00:08:57government has called on the population to save energy between 5 PM and
00:09:0010 PM, including by limiting the use of air conditioning and
00:09:04limiting the charging of electric vehicles. Budapest has
00:09:07announced that if the situation worsens, it will introduce rationing for
00:09:11large industrial consumers. Measures such as switching
00:09:15off decorative lighting and reducing some rail transport have already been
00:09:19taken. In Croatia, there is a red heat alert, and river levels are
00:09:22at historical lows. Smaller courses such as Orleava and
00:09:26Plitvice are almost dry, rivers where one could swim, now
00:09:30have only a few centimeters. I am one of the swimmers who has been swimming
00:09:33here for years and I don't remember the Drava being so
00:09:37low, so pleasant, we measured the temperature
00:09:40around 28° and...
00:10:12In addition, Bulgaria has invested heavily in batteries, including for
00:10:16storing energy produced by prosumers. Households and
00:10:19companies that have photovoltaic panels practically
00:10:22feed more electricity into the grid than.
00:10:30High temperatures heat the water in ponds and endanger
00:10:33fish health. What measures are fish farmers taking to prevent
00:10:37losses, we'll tell you in
00:10:39the news.
00:10:44After several days of heatwave, the yellow code for atmospheric
00:10:48instability came into force. Heavy rains with electrical
00:10:54liters per square meter are expected. Hail will fall
00:10:57in some places and there will be strong winds of up to 20
00:11:00m/s. According to the meteorological authority,
00:11:04the warning concerns the districts in the north and center of the Republic
00:11:08of Moldova and is valid until after midnight.
00:11:10nopții.
00:11:19The heat values also affect fish farms, high
00:11:23temperatures heat the water in ponds and endanger
00:11:26fish health because the development of algae is
00:11:30favored. So far, no serious cases of fish
00:11:34mortality have been recorded, but producers must take measures
00:11:38to prevent losses.
00:11:41The Sălaj pond near the village of Gura Bîcului, Anenii
00:11:45Noi district, is entirely fed by the Nistru River. The effects
00:11:49of the heatwave are already visible. The water level has dropped by almost
00:11:5230 cm, and the water temperature has exceeded
00:11:56the norm, which is 24-27 degrees.
00:11:59For the Sălaj lake area,
00:12:02in summer we have water temperatures above
00:12:0530 degrees, a temperature too high for
00:12:08fish to feed and develop normally. At such
00:12:12temperatures, fish feed in the morning, at night, in the morning,
00:12:16during the day it is already more passive. For now, the water in the lake remains
00:12:19clean, but no one knows for how long. This is the
00:12:23canal through which water from the Nistru is brought to the Sălaj
00:12:27lake fish farm. One can easily observe the algae
00:12:30floating around, which are specific to the Nistru. However, they do not
00:12:34reach the lake. Before the water enters the fish pond, it passes
00:12:38through a system of filters that retain the algae
00:12:41and thus protect the lake's ecosystem. To increase the
00:12:45oxygen level in the water, administrators use motorboats.
00:12:49The waves created help oxygenate the water and reduce
00:12:53the risk of fish dying. This is a method of aerating
00:12:57and ventilating the water. Practically every
00:12:59morning, at 5-6 AM, for an
00:13:03hour or two, we aerate, ventilate
00:13:06the water, dissolve the film that forms from
00:13:10top plankton at night to protect
00:13:13the fish from dying. Once out of
00:13:17control, the phenomenon of algae development can cause serious
00:13:20damage. The blooming of blue-green algae leads to them
00:13:24releasing, when they develop
00:13:27abundantly and even when they perish, that is, they
00:13:31die, they release into the water substances
00:13:34that are toxic to fish, to
00:13:37snails and to other aquatic organisms.
00:13:40floating and those from the ecosystem
00:13:43fund. The heatwave brings higher costs for
00:13:46fish farmers and they do not benefit from state
00:13:49subsidies. As far as I know, in some
00:13:53from 500 to 2000 lei per hectare, meaning
00:13:57there were additional costs for improving the situation,
00:14:00because there are some basins where there are more fish,
00:14:04clearly there needs to be a more intensive treatment. Unfortunately,
00:14:07at the moment we do not have help from the
00:14:10state, we would very much like to be
00:14:14exempted from taxes, from payments, but
00:14:17unfortunately this year, on the contrary, we were
00:14:21overtaxed. A possible solution
00:14:23is the new strategic program in aquaculture proposed
00:14:27for the next four years. The document provides for investments
00:14:30and financial support of over half a billion lei for the
00:14:34modernization of fish ponds. In the Republic of
00:14:37Moldova, over 5,000 aquatic basins and more
00:14:40than 1,000 fish producers are registered. These produce
00:14:44almost 13,000 tons of
00:14:46fish annually.
00:14:48All of Italy is under a red heatwave code. For the first
00:14:52time this year, all 27 major
00:14:55cities on the peninsula are in a state of climatic alert as
00:14:59temperatures exceed 40°C.
00:15:03Authorities recommend that the population exercise caution. In
00:15:07Rome, the city hall inaugurated the first urban climate
00:15:10refuge. The maximum alert status concerns
00:15:13the entire population of Italy, not just vulnerable categories.
00:15:17The peninsula is already going through its fourth heatwave since the beginning of
00:15:20summer, and locals and tourists are struggling with the thermal discomfort.
00:15:25For the first time this year, all 27 major
00:15:28Italian cities have been placed under a red heatwave code. This
00:15:32unprecedented measure taken by the Ministry of Health is a warning to
00:15:36the population of all ages. Faced with increasingly
00:15:40frequent heatwaves, the Rome administration has inaugurated the first
00:15:43urban space specially designed to combat the effects
00:15:46of the heatwave. The area was set up on the outskirts to
00:15:50offer residents a refuge on scorching
00:15:53days. It is equipped with water sprinklers, climbing
00:15:56plants and plenty of shade. I took a sun umbrella
00:16:00and a cap, a hat, but
00:16:03it still doesn't seem enough. We are looking for shady places.
00:16:08with an umbrella, with a cap, we hydrate very
00:16:12well. Meteorologists warn that heatwaves are
00:16:15becoming increasingly intense and persistent in Southern
00:16:18Europe, and cities are forced to invest in
00:16:22solutions to adapt to climate change. And on the
00:16:25Dalmatian Coast in Croatia, tourists and locals are struggling
00:16:29with high temperatures. In Dubrovnik, the temperature
00:16:33reaches 40°C in the middle of the day.
00:16:37got a hot, not got it on at the moment in the shade, but I've got a hot, get
00:16:41my son on, plenty of water to drink, and I'm
00:16:45just very hot all the time,
00:16:48at lunchtime, the beaches in the city in southern Croatia are
00:16:52almost empty because the sun is burning with
00:16:54power.
00:16:59A minor from Edineț was sentenced to imprisonment for
00:17:02drug distribution. Meanwhile, authorities announce that
00:17:06the number of children involved in illicit drug
00:17:10trafficking has doubled. What makes them choose this dangerous path, we'll find
00:17:13out in the news.
00:17:18In the last two days, authorities have not registered illegal
00:17:22overflights of the airspace of the Republic of Moldova.
00:17:25The drone fragments found yesterday near the village of Văleni, Cahul
00:17:29district, would have fallen much earlier. According to the police,
00:17:33the remains are undergoing expertise to determine the
00:17:36period in which they reached the field, as well as the direction
00:17:40from which the aircraft came. Checks indicate that it is a
00:17:43Geran 2 type drone. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemns
00:17:47the repeated violation of national airspace and the risks that
00:17:50such incidents pose to the safety of
00:17:54citizens.
00:17:58This incident represents a new violation of the sovereignty and territorial
00:18:01integrity of the Republic of Moldova and constitutes a serious
00:18:05risk to the security of our citizens. The Republic of Moldova
00:18:09condemns the war of aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine
00:18:13and the consequences it generates on regional security.
00:18:16regionale.
00:18:19A new wave of Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine
00:18:23caused casualties in several
00:18:26authorities are looking for solutions to strengthen air defense, but
00:18:30maintain pressure on Russia through attacks on its energy
00:18:34and logistical infrastructure.
00:18:38In the Kharkiv region, Russian drones hit residential areas in Balakliia
00:18:42and the Lozova train station, killing at least five people
00:18:45and injuring eight others. Attacks continued in the Sumy region,
00:18:49where Russian guided aerial bombs damaged apartment buildings, injuring
00:18:52over 10 people. This morning, Russia also hit a residential area
00:18:56in the city of Zaporizhzhia, injuring two civilians and damaging several
00:19:00apartment buildings, including nearby buildings. In the Odesa region,
00:19:03Russian strikes damaged seven houses, injuring one person. The new wave of
00:19:06attacks, after the massive bombardment of the Kyiv region, resulted
00:19:10in at least 17 deaths and dozens injured, prompting Ukrainian
00:19:14authorities to prioritize strengthening air defense and protecting
00:19:17critical infrastructure. At the National Security and Defense Council
00:19:21meeting, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Patriot missile
00:19:25deliveries from European allies have decreased threefold compared to last year.
00:19:31is related to the needs of the United States in the conflict with Iran, but
00:19:34suggested that the pace of deliveries could also be influenced by the fact
00:19:38of European partners, their involvement in the Middle
00:19:41East was minimized, but nevertheless
00:19:44in previous years they gave Ukraine
00:19:48anti-ballistic missiles, primarily to replenish our
00:19:52Patriots and other
00:19:55air defense systems, understanding such a large deficit,
00:19:58and I don't know if there are other reasons, apart from the Middle
00:20:01East, maybe political steps
00:20:05to make Ukraine more... let's say,
00:20:08more agreeable.
00:20:12Yes, in my opinion, it is not without this.
00:20:14Yes.
00:20:18In the context of the shortage of anti-aircraft missiles, Zelensky urged
00:20:22authorities and the defense industry to accelerate the creation of their
00:20:25own air defense capabilities, including through cooperation with
00:20:29European partners. In response to Russian attacks, Ukraine continues
00:20:32its campaign of strikes against logistical and economic targets in Russia.
00:20:36Last night, Ukrainians attacked several targets on Russian
00:20:40territory, causing a fire at one of the largest oil refineries
00:20:44in the Yaroslavl region, located over 700 km from the border
00:20:47with Ukraine. Ukrainian forces continued their series of strikes
00:20:51against the warehouses of the Waldberis company, which also sells military
00:20:55equipment, causing a fire at the company's warehouses in the Tver
00:20:58region.
00:21:00A minor from Edineț was sentenced to four years and six months in
00:21:04prison for drug distribution. According to
00:21:08the prosecutor's office, he bought the narcotic substances through
00:21:11the Telegram application and placed them in different
00:21:14hiding places. The police found 63 packages of
00:21:18drugs. Meanwhile, more and more teenagers end up in the
00:21:22hospital due to drug use. This year alone,
00:21:2470 users arrived at the Mother and Child Institute,
00:21:28and almost half of them required hospitalization.
00:21:32The Ministry of Health announces that it will reorganize the system
00:21:35for treating and monitoring these patients because the number
00:21:39of children involved in drug distribution has
00:21:42doubled.
00:21:43dublat.
00:21:47According to doctors, most intoxications are caused by
00:21:51the consumption of synthetic and semi-synthetic psychotropic
00:21:54substances. In case of overdoses, the consequences can be
00:21:57dramatic. Consumption can cause severe neurological
00:22:01disorders, respiratory arrest or cardiac
00:22:04arrest. At the moment, we do not have specialized
00:22:06centers that deal with dependent minors. In the toxicology
00:22:10department, we work with children in acute conditions who are
00:22:13in danger of losing their lives. We have repeated
00:22:17cases where we intervene and social
00:22:21assistance and the police officer are also
00:22:24sensitized. Data from the anti-drug directorate shows
00:22:27that the phenomenon of drug consumption and trafficking among
00:22:31minors is growing. The youngest identified user is only
00:22:3412 years old. Specialists warn that more and more
00:22:38children are recruited by trafficking networks through the
00:22:41Telegram application. Initially, they are lured into distributing
00:22:45drugs for money, and then they themselves become users. According
00:22:48to authorities, almost 85% of the minors
00:22:52involved are not sufficiently supervised by their parents,
00:22:55they are easier to
00:22:58manipulate, they are people who always want
00:23:02to see everything and understand
00:23:06everything and get involved in drug trafficking. Drug traffickers,
00:23:09I would even say that in the last period they
00:23:13are increasingly trying to involve minors in drug trafficking.
00:23:1726 minors were arrested as being involved
00:23:20in drug trafficking, aged 16 to 17,
00:23:23two minors aged between 14 and 15, and one minor
00:23:27under 14. Authorities recognize that the current system
00:23:31only responds to medical emergencies and does not provide
00:23:34continuity in addiction treatment. For this reason,
00:23:38the Ministry of Health is preparing a new medical pathway exclusively
00:23:42for adolescent drug users.
00:23:45We plan that these
00:23:49adolescents will be psychologically and psychiatrically monitored
00:23:52in community mental health centers, in which we will
00:23:56also include an addiction specialist.
00:23:58We want to focus
00:24:01on relapses as well. According to the police, minors
00:24:05under 16 are not arrested for the first offense, but are
00:24:08left in the care of their parents. In many cases, however,
00:24:11they return to criminal activity in just a few
00:24:15months. Of the 26 adolescents arrested this
00:24:18year for drug trafficking, five are
00:24:21repeat offenders.
00:24:26200 children from the diaspora and 40 from the Republic of Moldova are
00:24:30ready to discover together their roots, culture and
00:24:33traditions. In the Dor camp. What surprises
00:24:36await them, we'll find out in
00:24:37the news.
00:24:42Loans are getting more expensive. The National Bank of Moldova has increased
00:24:48from 7% to 7. 5%. According to
00:24:54to reduce the inflation rate, which is on an upward
00:24:57trend. Some experts believe that in this way, the institution
00:25:00wants to discourage people from taking consumer loans. The most
00:25:04affected by the new rule will be the government, which will have to
00:25:07higher interest rates on loans already
00:25:10accessed.
00:25:13According to the decision of the National Bank of Moldova, adopted unanimously
00:25:17by the Executive Committee, the interest rate for overnight
00:25:20loans was set at 9.5%, and for
00:25:24deposits at 5.5%.
00:25:28At the same time, the monetary interest rate will be 0.5%
00:25:30higher, i.e., from 7% to
00:25:347.5%. This comes after the NBM increased it from
00:25:376.5% to 7% on
00:25:40June 18. In a statement, the NBM specifies that
00:25:43the measure is short-term and comes in a context where it is
00:25:47estimated that the inflation trend this year requires
00:25:50additional measures to prevent the amplification of pressures on
00:25:54prices. We are witnessing an acceleration of lending,
00:25:57meaning people are happily taking out loans, and the national bank is now trying to temper
00:26:01this by making money more expensive, encouraging people to keep
00:26:05deposits in banks. The first to suffer is the government, because for them
00:26:08this means more expensive money. The government borrows every month.
00:26:12Secondly, the increase in consumer loans.
00:26:15Next to be affected are mortgage loans. The goal of
00:26:19the national bank to discourage those with consumer loans will not
00:26:23be achieved, because even if they get more expensive, people will
00:26:26borrow without any hesitation. Now, economic expert
00:26:30Viaceslav Ioniță says that the increase in the base rate is a
00:26:34consequence of global shocks that the Republic of
00:26:37Moldova is also experiencing. The war in Iran, the global
00:26:40crisis, everything related to supply, the increase in energy
00:26:44resources, gas on the international market has increased by over
00:26:4740%. We have an enormous pressure on
00:26:50domestic prices, we are swimming in them, and all this, the regional crisis
00:26:54brings us an increase in electricity prices, petroleum
00:26:57products, food products, all these
00:27:00things create certain premises. In the second
00:27:03quarter of the year, the annual inflation rate reached
00:27:076.68%,
00:27:09a trend mainly influenced by the increase in fuel and
00:27:12transport services. The central bank attributed these
00:27:16increases to the tensions generated by the conflict in the Middle
00:27:19East, which affected energy markets and exerted
00:27:23additional pressure on costs.
00:27:25The
00:27:27Ministry of Education and Research is preparing one of the most
00:27:31important changes to the school curriculum in recent
00:27:34years. The proposals are under public consultation and concern
00:27:38all levels of education. The new curricula
00:27:41pay more attention to digital education, critical
00:27:44thinking, and the responsible use of
00:27:47technologies, so that students are better prepared
00:27:51for the challenges of today's
00:27:52world.
00:27:56Changes to the school curriculum are eagerly awaited by parents
00:27:59and teachers. I would agree with, for example. In America, I had a
00:28:03classmate who wanted to study biology, and it was more
00:28:06practical, not just theory memorized.
00:28:10Practical is something else when a child studies,
00:28:13sees, and can go further in life. Should it be more
00:28:16digitalized? We need to have more
00:28:20languages to study, because
00:28:23these are things that children need. It certainly
00:28:27needs to change something, because everything around us is evolving,
00:28:30but education remains the same.
00:28:33It's like now, I don't know, 10 years ago, nothing, meaning nothing
00:28:37changes. The implementation of the new curriculum will also be accompanied by
00:28:40teacher training. From what I understand, digital tools
00:28:44will also be introduced, which we will use
00:28:48extensively, because we have students in front of us,
00:28:52disciples who are up with the times. I am sure that there are very
00:28:56well-prepared teachers, and those who may still have some shortcomings enroll in
00:28:59digiprof courses and so on, some welcome courses. A new element
00:29:03is the emphasis on values such as peace, democracy, responsibility,
00:29:07respect, and inclusion, which will be integrated into all disciplines.
00:29:11They propose to modify the curricula in the following way: to introduce 10
00:29:15modules and 10 principles that they
00:29:18call authentic values, to be
00:29:21incorporated into all disciplines. So you learn physics, you learn
00:29:25biology, history, it doesn't matter, you have to learn about gender equality, about
00:29:29inclusion, about homosexuals, about green
00:29:32politics, which is not correct, and so on. So it is a
00:29:35destruction of the education system, and I am categorically against
00:29:39this. The development of the new programs involved
00:29:42240 curriculum experts. The reform also brings
00:29:45changes in the structure of disciplines. The subject "Me and Society" appears,
00:29:49the Arts discipline will combine music education and visual
00:29:52arts. And in high school, new subjects such as economics and
00:29:56political science will be introduced. At the same time, computer science will be taught starting from
00:30:00the fifth grade, and digital education
00:30:02will be expanded. Children will have the opportunity to study computer
00:30:06science from the first grade, which we haven't had until now, and that would be
00:30:10a benefit for students. Also,
00:30:13if it concerns technology, then they will also have digital
00:30:16education. So it will be a continuation of what they had from
00:30:19the first grade to the fourth grade. They will already have it from the fifth grade to the
00:30:23ninth grade. According to the Ministry of Education, the purpose of the reform is for
00:30:27students to better understand what they are learning and to be able to apply
00:30:30the information in real contexts. The expectations are that the new
00:30:34curriculum will certainly bring
00:30:37fundamental knowledge closer to real
00:30:40life, so that students understand
00:30:44what they are learning and why they are learning it, to be able to apply these
00:30:47knowledge in various social and life
00:30:51contexts, in different professional contexts.
00:30:54The new curriculum projects are subject to public consultation until
00:30:58mid-September.
