TİKA Continues to Modernize Moldova’s Educational Infrastructure

Since 2022, Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA) has been setting up “Technoclass” innovation classrooms in schools across the Republic of Moldova, equipping them with modern, state-of-the-art technology.

Following the visit of deputies from the Türkiye-Moldova Friendship Group of the Moldovan Parliament to Türkiye, a demand emerged for the establishment of sample laboratories in various regions of Moldova. As part of this project, which aligns with the “Model School Project” implemented by the Ministry of National Education of the Republic of Moldova, laboratories have been set up in five schools.

To date, modern laboratories specializing in physics, chemistry and biology have been made available to students at the following schools: Chisinau’s “Mircea Eliade Theoretical High School,” Floresht’s “Ion Creanga Theoretical High School,” Ceadîr-Lunga’s “Mihail Çakir Theoretical High School,” Kongaz’s “Suleyman Demirel Turkish-Moldovan High School” and Drokia’s “Mihai Eminescu Theoretical High School.”

The Moldovan education system is being enhanced by creating environments where young people can access technological and scientific innovations on par with their peers in developed countries. These modernized schools allow students to cultivate their innovative skills in facilities equipped with the latest technologies.

Renovated Physics Laboratory

TİKA has renovated and equipped the Physics Laboratory at M. Eminescu Drokia High School in Drokia City.

The opening ceremony for the project was attended by Muhammed Ünal, Head of TİKA’s Balkans and Eastern Europe Department (BADA); Marina Morozova, Member of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova; Marcelina Baleca, Head of the General Education Policy Department of the Ministry of Education and Research of the Republic of Moldova; Vasile Cemortan, Governor of Drokia Region; Vitalie Josanu, Drokia Officer of the Prime Ministry of the Republic of Moldova; and Sergiu Prodan, Principal of M. Eminescu Drokia High School.

Speaking at the event, Ünal, Head of the BADA Department stated that as part of the Model School Project carried out by the Ministry of National Education of the Republic of Moldova, TİKA has established innovation classrooms following the “Technoclass” concept in the Chisinau, Floresht, Ceadîr-Lunga, Kongaz and Drokia regions.

Launched in 2022, the project provides a dynamic and enriched learning experience in the fields of physics, chemistry and biology, aiming to empower both educators and students.

MP Morozova expressed her satisfaction with the renovation of the physics laboratory, which has been equipped with modern facilities by TİKA after many years. She stated that the project is an excellent example of how quickly things can change.

High School Principal Prodan conveyed his gratitude to the Turkish people and TİKA for realizing this important project, which is essential for practical training.

He also added that the laboratory will serve as a model for how laboratories in other high schools across the country should be designed.
