Teachers bring value and quality in the Romanian teaching system, which is why I encourage them to participate in this competition -to share their experience with colleagues from other countries. I am convinced that the projects created by the Romanian teachers are genuine models of efficient use of interactive resources in education", declared Ştefan Morcov, Line of Business Senior Director with SIVECO Romania.
