documents of the Republic of Moldova, including children left without parental care and placed in residential institutions on the left bank of the Dniester. Ensuring the right to education in the mother tongue is another issue addressed by the People's Advocate for Children's Rights, on the segment of respecting the rights of the child in the Transnistrian region. Although the situation of schools teaching in Romanian and ensuring the observance of children's right to study in their mother tongue has been the subject of several working sessions, there is also a decision of the European Court of Human Rights on this subject, however, the problem still has no final positive solution. Romanian-language educational institutions continue to face impediments in their activity from the de facto authorities in the Transnistrian region, and the constitutional authorities fail to provide them with effective protection for constant activity. Children are put in the situation of learning in buildings that were not initially predestined for the development of the educational process and cannot meet all the requirements of the educational process. Thus, in most institutions children can not attend physical education and sports classes, because they do not have space, classrooms are redesigned from former offices that do not allow the simultaneous finding of more than 10 people, while the number of students in a class exceeds the figure of 20, the sanitary and drinking water insurance conditions are not fully insured, this representing a risk for the life and health of children. The problem of providing textbooks and literature in Romanian also persists. The students informed the Children's Ombudsman that there was no bookstore on Transnistrian territory where literature in Romanian could be purchased. In the context of the analyzed aspects, the People's Advocate for Children's Rights describes as unsatisfactory the State's actions in ensuring the observance of children's rights on the left bank of the Dniester and asks government authorities to identify solutions to remedy the situation, facilitate access to monitor the rights of children in residential institutions.
