This weekend, the Western University of Timișoara (UVT) "brought together" over 3000 students from the XIIth grade from the whole country, as part of the preparation activities for the baccalaureate exam, the preparation sessions for all disciplines totaling over 5000 participants.

The training program started on January 16, 2021, according to the following schedule:

• 9:00-10:30 – Romanian language and literature;
• 10:45-12:15 – Mathematics and History;
• 12:30-14:00 – Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Physics, Geography and Computer Science.

In the following weeks, the list of subjects included in the training program will be completed with Philosophy, Logic, Communication and Argumentation, Psychology and Sociology.

The schedule of the preparation program will remain the same for each of the following Saturday preparation days, being set in such a way as to allow students to participate in the preparation activities for all three subjects for which they will take the written test in the examination of baccalaureate.

Although the organization of these activities is already a tradition that UVT carries out annually, their online development, this year, allows us to support students from the entire country. This aspect was really appreciated by the students, who ended up numbering over 6500 registered participants, from all the counties of the country. Also, the feedback received from the students participating in the first training session confirms the need for such support activities, as they are delighted with the content of the proposed program.

The meeting on Saturday 16 January was just the first of a series of 19 meetings that we have lined up, with the Baccalaureate exam preparation program continuing until mid-June 2021. The good news, for students who did not make it by this moment to sign up to participate in the teaching sessions, is that they can still sign up, by completing TO THIS FORM. The organization of these activities involves, in addition to the actual conduct of training sessions via live videoconference, the creation of a virtual "space" where students can permanently access all the materials transmitted by teachers (in the form of courses on the Google Classroom platform), thus ensuring that and students who will enroll along the way will be able to benefit from all the information previously presented.

The program of topics addressed weekly, for each discipline, is available HERE.

Thus, the Western University of Timișoara (UVT) continues to be carefully concerned not only for supporting its students, but also for future students, ensuring them training and development opportunities of the highest quality.
