The Rumanian Ministry of Education today appointed a teacher of Yiddish for two elementary schools in the town of Roman following a request from the schools’ officials that Yiddish courses be begun there. Both schools have large Jewish enrollments.
A school in which the entire curriculum is offered in Yiddish was opened in Jassy, capital of the province of Moldavia, it was reported here. The Jassy school is the third of four schools which the government plans to conduct entirely in Yiddish. Two previously-established all-Yiddish schools are now operating in Bucharest and Timiscara, while a fourth is planned for Satu-Mare.
