The Romanian Ministry of Education has introduced a methodology allowing high-performing students to complete two years of study in one academic year. This initiative targets exceptional students who demonstrate the physical and intellectual capacity to adapt to a challenging curriculum alongside older peers.
According to the new guidelines, students can only accelerate their studies once in each educational cycle: primary, secondary, and high school. Enrollment for this program begins in the third grade, with strict selection criteria based on previous academic performance, including achieving top grades and passing an interdisciplinary test.
In parallel, the Renfrewshire Council in Scotland has proposed a new primary school in Dargavel Village to meet the educational demands of a growing community. The planned facility will feature modern amenities, including a sports pitch and outdoor learning areas, aiming to foster an inclusive and innovative learning environment. Following community feedback, the planning application is under review, with construction expected to commence in summer 2025, targeting an opening date in August 2027.
