ISJ Tulcea demands explanations from the Agricultural High School after an “anti-drug campaign” organized by AUR members during a break

The Tulcea County School Inspectorate has asked the management of the “Nicolae Cornățeanu” Agricultural High School to explain the circumstances in which members of the AUR county organization held an anti-drug activity at the institution on November 4. The school management must submit the report by November 18.

The activity was presented on Facebook by Alina Jivan, an AUR member, as an information and drug-use prevention campaign initiated by the AUR Women’s Organization in Tulcea. Teacher Gheorghe Cucu, through whom the participants gained access to the classroom, said the discussion took place during a break, lasted approximately ten minutes, and included the distribution of brochures.

The teacher acknowledged that he had not informed the school management. Principal Marcel Ciotnic said he had not known about the activity and had received written explanations from the staff members involved and from students.

AUR representatives claim they participated “as private individuals” and did not engage in politics in front of the students. The Tulcea County School Inspectorate nevertheless reminds that the Pre-University Education Law prohibits political propaganda in schools. The institution’s management may face disciplinary sanctions, ranging from a written warning to dismissal from office.
