Romanian Consul Claudiu Tătaru and local officials in Ukraine worked to reopen a Romanian language class in Orlivka, Ukraine, for seven students.
The class had closed shortly after the school year began, requiring the children to attend classes in Ukrainian. Following discussions involving the school board, the Reni local authority approved reopening the class. The Romanian General Consulate at Odesa reported the decision ensures the students can continue their education in their mother tongue within the current school system.
Romanian and Ukrainian authorities have until September 1, 2027, to find a lasting solution for preserving Romanian language education for the Romanian community in Ukraine as part of Ukraine’s secondary education reform. The consulate described the negotiations as emotionally charged, but stated that diplomatic efforts continued to secure the children’s right to learn in Romanian.
Representatives from the Ismail Regional Military Administration, the city of Reni, the school, parents, and the Romanian community in the Odesa region participated in the discussions.
