€51.5 million for 20 model schools: Ungheni's “Mihai Eminescu” makes the EIB modernization list
The “Mihai Eminescu” Theoretical High School in Ungheni — one of the largest schools in the Centru region — is the only institution from the Ungheni district among the 20 that Moldova will modernize with European money, under a €51.5 million programme financed mainly by the European Investment Bank. Most of the money, €40 million, is a loan. The sum that will reach Ungheni has not been disclosed, and the school was already given an energy retrofit two years ago — a sign the new money targets what is inside. The backdrop: the district enters the new school year with 73 teaching vacancies, three of them at “Eminescu”.
