This announcement was made by Education Minister Dan Perciun. The Ministry is currently identifying a suitable location for the new school.

"The Ministry must take action. We need to clearly define how we, as the central public authority, can contribute to solving this problem. Naturally, the Mayor's office also needs to step up its efforts," stated Minister Perciun. "The World Bank project will fund the construction of a new school in Chisinau. However, even a large school won't drastically improve the situation. More schools and greater involvement from all parties are necessary," he explained.

Minister Perciun further highlighted that many schools in Chisinau are not utilising their available space to maximum capacity. He urged municipal authorities to address this aspect.

It's worth noting that several primary classes in Chisinau began the current school year with over 40 students per class. School principals attribute this surge to the mass exodus of residents from rural areas to the capital, coupled with existing limitations on school space.

There are approximately 150 educational institutions currently operating in Chisinau.
