Daniel David responded to the critics of the trade unionists and the protests of the teachers, stating that he also assumes the role of "minister of austerity," warning that he will resign if, in 2026, education will again be subjected to cuts.

Daniel David states that the status of the teacher must be prestigious, but he acknowledges that the Romanian educational system has many problems, including a high level of functional illiteracy. He mentions that simultaneous teaching is an option for small communities, but it requires teacher training. David emphasizes that reforms, especially those related to the curriculum and assessment, are essential to improve the quality of education. He also discusses the financial challenges faced by education and the need to find solutions that do not affect teachers' salaries.
