Moldova launches a free national platform of textbooks, lessons and exam prep

Moldova has launched EduResurse, a free national website that brings textbooks, lesson plans, videos, exercises and exam preparation together in one place for teachers, pupils and parents, UNICEF said on 7 October. The platform was built by UNICEF and the Ministry of Education and Research with funding from the European Union.

Scattered materials now sit in one national library

Many good teaching materials already existed in Moldova, but they were spread across different projects and institutions and hard to find. EduResurse gathers them into a single national repository aligned with the curriculum, covering preschool, primary, gymnasium and lyceum levels.

The site lists more than 21,000 resources across 37 subjects, including interactive digital textbooks, video lessons, podcasts, worksheets and tests, with material in Romanian, Russian, Ukrainian and several other languages, according to the platform itself. It works in a web browser on computers, tablets and phones.

Most resources need no account

Most materials can be used without registering. Pupils who sign up can track what they have opened, time spent and completed resources, which UNICEF says can also help parents understand their children's learning needs. Teachers can submit their own materials, which are reviewed for quality and fit with national requirements.

“We want to make it easier for every teacher to find the materials they need for their lessons, while ensuring that every pupil has access to resources that help them understand, practise and make progress.” — Dan Perciun, Moldova's Minister of Education and Research

Deyana Kostadinova, UNICEF's representative in Moldova, said the platform "is not simply a digital platform" but part of the infrastructure of the country's education reform. Development cost about EUR 34,000, or around MDL 696,000.

The ministry plans to keep expanding the site and is inviting universities, foundations and companies to help add digital and AI literacy resources and accessibility tools. Teachers, pupils and parents can use it now at eduresurse.gov.md.
