By now we have managed to implement Adservio platform in all the 27 high-schools, colleges and schools and one kindergarten in Buzau city. I believe that this project has been a good opportunity to test the ability of the schools to use digital methods to teach, evaluate, test, communicate and report and to prove the benefits of digitalized education” said Constantin Toma, the Mayor of Buzau city.
