Remitențele diasporei și educația rurală din Republica Moldova: provocări și soluții

Abstract

This article examines the role of remittances sent by the Moldovan diaspora on education in rural areas of Moldova. Remittances play a crucial role in supporting the economy and investing in education, but early and primary education in rural areas faces significant challenges. These include limited access to educational institutions, inadequate infrastructure, a shortage of qualified personnel, and uneven implementation of standards. Diaspora involvement, demonstrated through individual initiatives and support from international organizations, is essential for improving access and quality in education. The article emphasizes the need for structural investments and public private partnerships to overcome these challenges and develop long-term human capital. In conclusion, specific measures are proposed to enhance the quality of education in rural areas, including promoting school autonomy, diversifying educational services, and improving teacher training. The paper was developed within the framework of Subprogram 030101 „Strengthening the resilience, competitiveness, and sustainability of the economy of the Republic of Moldova in the context of the accession process to the European Union”, institutional funding.
