(ANSA) - ROMA, 08 GEN - epa11064465 Romanian students,
belonging to their regional students associations, hold placards
and shout slogans during a protest held in front of the
Education Ministry headquarters, in Bucharest, Romania, 08
January 2024. Dozens of students from all over the country
gathered in Romania's capital in during the first day of school
after the holidays, for a protest action in which they demanded
respect for the right to free school transport and the
resignation of the Minister of Education. Students from 19
counties of the country were left without free school
transportation starting today due to an unclear government
ordinance regarding the payment of school transportation
expenses, students from these counties having to pay the cost of
transportation themselves, starting with January 08 2024. In
some counties, the companies that provide school transport have
not received their funds since September 2023. The Minister of
Education, Ligia Deca (not pictured), promised a quick solution
to the situation, after receiving the student representatives in
the ministerial chancellery. The big placard on the right
spells: 'Free school transportation for all the county
students!'. EPA/ROBERT GHEMENT (ANSA).
