Priorities

I believe in public policy built around people, grounded in data and judged by results. In education and in my civic work, my priorities start from the same idea: institutions work better when the people affected by decisions take a real part in building clear procedures.

01

Civic participation and parents’ voice in decision-making

Parents must be real partners in shaping education policy, not just the recipients of decisions taken by others. I support their representation from school and local community level up to the ministry, Parliament and European structures. Genuine public participation means access to information, clear consultation mechanisms and the ability of civil society to contribute before decisions are made.

Quality of education and the capacity of the system

A high-performing school starts with well-trained teachers, in sufficient numbers and supported to do their job. Teacher shortages, dependence on private tutoring, overloaded curricula and poor results in national and international assessments are symptoms of systemic problems that must be tackled together. For me, the key question is not how many hours a child spends at school, but how much real learning that time produces.

Equity, access and real opportunities for every child

Where a child is born, their family’s income or the school they can access should not determine their future. Education funding, scholarships, transport, infrastructure and access to good teachers must be judged by their impact on each child’s real chances. Social and education policies must be designed to reduce inequalities, not reproduce them.

Child safety and protection — offline and online

Child protection does not begin or end at the school gate. Violence, bullying, drugs, risky behaviour, minors’ access to unsuitable platforms and content, age verification and data protection are all part of the same public agenda today. The digital space in which children grow up needs protection standards comparable to those society takes for granted in the physical world.

An education that prepares for life

School must offer more than an accumulation of information. Financial education, career guidance, entrepreneurial skills, civic education, digital skills and the link between education and the real economy must become natural parts of every pupil’s education. Vocational and dual education, cooperation with business and early guidance can turn education into a real tool for autonomy and social mobility.

Public policy based on data, consultation and evaluation

Serious public policy is built on data, impact assessment and professional dialogue with those it affects. I support consultation before decisions, legislative predictability and evaluating results after implementation. Changes made under the pressure of the moment can produce populist headlines and nothing more. Lasting reform needs measurable goals, institutions that work together and continuity.

Romania in the European space of education and civic participation

Many of Romania’s challenges are shared across Europe: children’s online safety, teacher shortages, skills for the future, family participation, inclusion and democratic resilience.

I believe in a competent Romania that helps shape European policy, brings home the practices that work and contributes its own solutions and experience. European cooperation must deliver concrete results for communities, schools, families and children.
