An OSCE report from June 2005 states: "If they [Moldovan parents in Transnistria] enroll their children in one of these schools that offer a Moldovan curriculum using a Latin script, they risk being threatened by the regional security service, and seeing their jobs put in jeopardy. Sending their children in one of the 33 Transdniestrian schools they teach in their native language in Cyrillic is, however, hardly an appealing alternative, as the schools follow an out-dated curriculum and use textbooks from the Soviet period".[[http://www.osce.org/documents/html/pdftohtml/15621_425_en.pdf.html OSCE report: Moldovan schools in Transdniestria] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606163208/http://www.osce.org/documents/html/pdftohtml/15621_425_en.pdf.html |date=6 June 2011 }}] This is the reason why many Moldovans from [[Transnistria]] send their children to harassment-free Russian language schools.
