Joining us this week is Romania’s Minister of Education, Ligia Deca. Ministers in Romania are not generally speaking elected politicians — the country works on a model similar to that in France — and over the past two decades, an astoundingly high proportion of Education Ministers in Romania are university Presidents or Senate Chairs on temporary leave from their position. Ligia’s experience both as a student leader and a policy analyst means she represents the experiences of a wider constituency than most of her predecessors.
