The «Elegie» children's choir of Ungheni's Music School wins the Grand Prize at an international competition

The «Elegie» children's choir, conducted by Ala Beleac, won the Grand Prize at the Elite International Arts Competition 2026 — a first-edition contest held entirely online. The distinction is a real victory for the children of Ungheni's Music School, and an occasion to look at the system behind it: a network of municipal art schools with nearly six decades of tradition, in a district that has lost more than half of its young people in twelve years.

Ungheni's “Vasile Alecsandri” high school builds its first gym: 13.7 million lei for the first stage alone

The oldest high school in Ungheni district, whose roughly 620 students have had no indoor gym until now, now has a construction site. The state procurement registry shows a 13.72-million-lei contract for the building's structure, won by COLASS SA. The walls go up this year, the interior follows in 2027 — and the total cost will be higher, because the second stage is not yet budgeted.

How a graduate from Ungheni can get a tuition-free place in Romania

The Romanian Universities Fair, now in its fifteenth edition, stopped in Ungheni on Saturday, 4 July — part of a tour through four cities of the Republic of Moldova. Beyond the stands, the stakes for an Ungheni graduate are concrete: the Romanian state offers thousands of tuition-free places each year, some with a stipend, at universities across the Prut, and Iași is less than 50 kilometres away. Here is what the «Romanians everywhere» programme offers, how to apply and what to watch for.

Ten Ungheni students with straight 10s honoured at the first excellence gala — and there are now six at the Baccalaureate, not four

On Friday, the Ungheni District Council held the first edition of its «Ungheni — Where Excellence Inspires» gala and awarded a diploma, a cash prize and flowers to ten students who scored a final mark of 10 in every national exam: six high-school graduates and four from lower secondary. Meanwhile, the final Baccalaureate results have raised the number of Ungheni students with straight 10s from four, as the preliminary data showed, to six — and this time one of them is a boy.

Criminal record certificate and psychiatric clearance for anyone working with children: what the proposed law changes in Ungheni's schools — and why it is contested

A bill from the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, now in first reading in Parliament, seeks to bar from working with children anyone convicted of offences against them — but also those under criminal proceedings, with suspension from duty as soon as prosecution begins. At every hiring in a school, kindergarten, sports club or camp, a detailed criminal record certificate, a sworn declaration and a psychiatric certificate would become mandatory. In the Ungheni district, the measure affects a network of over 1,270 teachers — at a moment when the district is entering the new year with dozens of vacant posts. The bill has firm backing from the Ombudsman for children's rights, but also two serious objections: the presumption of innocence and the risk of stigmatising people who ever consulted a psychiatrist.

For Ungheni district, which enters the school year with one of the country's largest teacher shortages, the bet is on the teachers already at the blackboard.

Six Ungheni graduates earned straight 10s at the Baccalaureate: the country's second town, after Chișinău

After appeals, six graduates from the town of Ungheni finished the 2026 Baccalaureate with a top mark of 10, not four: Ionela Lefter, Andreea Mușet, Doina Prepeliță, Alexandrina Rîsîpanu, Anastasia Rusu and Nichita Țurea. Nationally the final figure is 114 candidates, up from 85 in the preliminary results.
