The Cabinet adopted an emergency decree Tuesday postponing these measures set in the country’s education law, adopted early 2011. The government also postponed the term by which it was obligated by law to ensure basic financing for private pre-university education units and confessional education units.
Last week, the government passed a decree postponing until 2014 the application of a measure stated in the education law which required that at least 6% of the gross domestic product be allotted to the education sector. The funding increase should have been applied starting January 1, 2012.
