In a statement in parliament, the Jewish deputy Michael Landau, declared that the situation in the Jewish schools in Roumania is unbearable, and that all interventions to the government up to now on the part of the Jewish members of parliament have failed.

The question of the establishment of a Jewish teachers’ seminary, he said, has not been settled yet, though it was already considered by the former Minister of Education, Angelescu. Jewish schools that were closed have not been reopened. The Hebrew language is regarded as a foreign language in the Jewish schools, which have no public rights. He also said that the Ministry of Cults has forbidden the opening of Hebrew evening courses, and that no courses in the Jewish religion have been established in the Jewish high schools.
