The National Assessment simulation will begin on Monday, March 16, with the Romanian Language and Literature test, taking place in 4,527 educational units, which represents 97.27% of the total. However, 127 schools, equivalent to 2.73%, will not organize the simulation due to the boycott by teachers.

Education unions have reported significant dissatisfaction among employees, with over 73,000 teachers, or more than 50% of union members, choosing not to participate in the simulations.
