For the 2009/2010 school year, the “Avram Iancu” national high school will enroll
more than 800 schoolchildren, spread out in 28 classrooms: 16 for the exact sciences

« The rehabilitation of the main building of the “Avram Iancu”
high school ended in 2009 and needed a 2,5 million lei investment. On this occasion
a laboratory and a loft were also built, where six classrooms now function. The
building has been thermally insulated, and has had its classrooms and bathrooms
repaired

The school’s boarding house was also rehabilitated with the help of a 1,1 million
lei investment. The house can how ensure good lodging for all of the 60 schoolchildren
who live in villages farther away from Apuseni, and who have chosen to stay here.
In the future, the school cafeteria will also be modernized, but that will take
another 1,4 million lei, funds which don’t exist right now.
The Câmpeni “Avram Iancu” high school dates 43 years back and is the main school
for children who live in the Arieş Valley. Starting with the year 2000, when it
was made a “national high school”, the institution started teaching for schoolchildren
in secondary school, providing them with an intensive English training. Children
from other villages study here as well (villages like Albac, Vadu-Moţilor,
Gârda
de Sus, Arieşeni, Scărişoara, Sohodol, Bistra and Lupşa), apart from the ones who
live in Cîmpeni.
Parents Want Video Surveillance
In order to ensure the full safety of the "Avram Iancu" students, a video surveillance
system worth 27,000 lei was installed, paid in full by the parents of children learning
here. The 12 video cameras set up in the hallways have movement sensors, and the
courtyard has three infrared cameras. Although the school has been free of incidents
that could justify this protective measure, seeing as the school only has one guard,
it was thought that a prevention system was needed.
The school management has also created a school uniform, mandatory for each student.
Thus, the girls have to wear a crimson coat with black pants or a skirt or dress,
and the boys a crimson coat with black trousers and vest. The uniform can be bought
from the school for almost 160 lei.
Technological Studies at the Forestry School
Câmpeni also has a Forestry School, which is mainly chosen by those who want to
work in areas such as the furniture business, silviculture, mechanics or textile
manufacturing. The school has almost 900 students, who come from several places
in the Apuseni, most of which are enrolled in the technological profile and at the
arts and crafts school. The school also offers modern learning conditions, as well
as a boarding house for those who can’t commute.
