Romanian students displaced as school renovations drag past start of term

Thousands of Romanian students in Sfântu Gheorghe and elsewhere are learning online, hybrid, or in alternate buildings two weeks into the school year because construction projects remain unfinished. The renovation of a high school in Sfântu Gheorghe, Harghita County, costing nearly 7 million lei, is not due for completion until the winter break. This recurring pattern of summer construction overruns disrupts education and signals chronic infrastructure management failures.
