Friday personally vouched for the quality of Romanian institutions, sharing an anecdote about a close friend who sent his daughter back to Romania for her university education. While Friday is currently highlighting these opportunities, the groundwork for this specific academic bridge was laid during the previous administration. In April 2025, then-Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves announced that eleven fully-funded scholarships would be offered to Vincentians to study at the Transilvania University of Brasov. The scholarships established during that period were designed to be comprehensive, including added benefits such as part-time work allowances for students during their studies. He linked these scholarship opportunities to other domestic measures aimed at easing the financial burden on students, such as the removal of registration fees for secondary schools and the commitment to pay CXC and CSEC fees.
