Chisinau, 10 September /MOLDPRES/ - The special school No 12 for pupils with hearing problems from Chisinau today benefited from a donation of protection equipment on behalf of the European Union’s Embassy in Moldova.

The donation took place at the education institution and the consignment of equipment contained 150 masks for pupils with hearing problems from high school forms and teachers.

‘’The communication is quite important for the society. These masks will help much teachers in teaching classes, so that they are explicit and understood by pupils. Children will also be able to interact between them, stimulating the communication,’’ Cutasevici noted.
