Romania to require digital gradebooks in schools
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Romania’s Ministry of Education will require all schools to use electronic gradebooks starting with the 2027-2028 school year.
The ministry is currently developing a national, free platform to support the change, aiming for completion by the end of 2029. Though the platform is delayed, many schools, like Bănățean National College in Timișoara, have already adopted digital gradebooks for several years. Teachers at Bănățean National College input grades and attendance directly into an application accessible on phones and tablets.
This system improves communication between teachers, parents, and students, as parents receive instant updates on academic performance and absences. Principal Sorin Ionescu stated the change also reduces paperwork and simplifies attendance tracking. A 2004 ministerial order first established the requirement for electronic gradebooks, and the Ministry of Education is now focused on implementing a nationwide system.
