Romanian high schools can offer optional AI and digital citizenship course

ETEU Tech JournalNewsroomUpdated 1 source

Romanian high schools can now add an optional subject called "Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Citizenship" to the courses they offer. According to start-up.ro, the subject is to be taught on the basis of a curriculum approved by the Ministry of Education and Research 1. The report presents this as a possibility open to schools rather than a requirement, so each school can decide whether to include it in its offering 1.

The details available from the source are limited. The excerpt confirms that the course is titled "Inteligența artificială (IA) și cetățenia digitală", that it is optional, and that its curriculum has been approved by the Ministry of Education and Research 1. The text provided is cut off, so it does not give further information such as the grades involved, the number of weekly hours, the start date, the topics covered or how teachers will be prepared. Those points are therefore not described here, and readers should consult the full article or the ministry for them 1.

For Europe, the move shows how an EU member state is beginning to put AI literacy and digital citizenship into formal secondary education through a ministry-approved curriculum, even if only as an elective 1. Because the subject is optional, its real reach will depend on how many high schools choose to offer it and on the resources they can devote to it. The source excerpt does not say what the next steps will be, so any timetable for introduction or evaluation remains to be confirmed by the Romanian authorities 1.
