According to a post on Facebook, the Minister of Education, Sorin Cimpeanu, announced that he wants to resign from his position.

Sorin Cimpeanu: I decided, on my own initiative, to resign from the position of Minister of Education. It was an honor for me to start the fundamental reform of the national education system. I took over the mandate of minister not because I had nothing to do or to add the ministry to my CV. I had both. I came at an extremely difficult time with the desire to change things for the better. I began my term in an unprecedented health crisis and fought for students to go to school with physical presence throughout that period. I have consistently campaigned and secured the legal framework for education funding to increase. During my mandate as Minister of Education, I succeeded in making changes that laid the foundations for the "Educated Romania" reform. We developed the drafts of the "Educated Romania" Laws and went through the public debate procedure, after which we finalized the two drafts, taking over many amendments that brought added value, so that these drafts fully meet the expectations and real needs of society. I am the man who builds not one man who tears down! We all have an obligation to contribute and support the reform in education! I believe in "Educated Romania" and I will support the "Educated Romania" Laws in my capacity as a teacher, rector and senator. The draft laws represent the best chance for an education as I think we all want. Otherwise, in the absence of fair access to quality education, there will be even more people who do not perceive contents and do not understand the true meaning of words. I thank all those who honestly chose to support education!
