Use case · 04 · Citizen and public-interest education
National-scale public learning operated as infrastructure — 700,000+ pupils, 100,000 EduLib teachers, 2,000 SMEs on the public record.
Citizen-facing public-interest education is the largest shape the work takes. Three programmes carry it: EduLib (national virtual library, 700,000+ pupils and 100,000 teachers, Ministry of Education consortium), National Digital Pedagogy (60,000 teachers, 30,000+ OERs across twelve consortiums), and the ADR digital-skills programme (2,000 SMEs under PNRR). Each aligns directly to the EU Digital Decade 2030 target of 80% of adults with at least basic digital skills.

How the use case is shaped
Reach is documented in sourced evidence, not asserted. EduLib reaches 700,000+ pupils and 100,000 teachers. National Digital Pedagogy reaches 60,000 teachers. ADR reaches 2,000 SMEs. Each programme has a named public counterparty and a dated delivery milestone.
Each programme has a named public counterparty: the Ministry of Education for EduLib, the Authority for the Digitalization of Romania for ADR, twelve teacher-training consortiums for National Digital Pedagogy. Procurement documentation is available to evaluators.
National Digital Pedagogy delivers 30,000+ reusable OERs authored through LIVRESQ. Output is institution-owned and licence-clean for public reuse — aligned to Creative Commons and SIIIR (Romanian MoE registry) standards.
The EU Digital Decade 2030 policy programme targets 80% of adults with at least basic digital skills by 2030 and 20 million ICT specialists employed across the EU. All three national programmes contribute directly to these targets — EduLib (pupils and teachers), National Digital Pedagogy (teachers/ICT), ADR (SME workforce). Procurement evaluators can cite this alignment in EU funding applications.
Procurement and delivery sit under listed-company governance (BVB: ASC since 2016). Audited annual reports, current-report disclosure, and capital-markets accountability hold across all public engagements. No programme milestone is asserted without a corresponding disclosed record.
