Răsplata Muncii pentru Învățământ Medal

The Răsplata Muncii pentru Învățământ Medal (Reward for Work in Education Medal) was established in Romania on October 3, 1898 by minister Spiru Haret to reward teachers and other persons with outstanding accomplishments in the field of public education. The medal could pe awarded only to Romanian citizens.

Initially the medal had two classes. In 1907 the design of the medal was changed and the medal had three classes: gold, silver and bronze. The scope of the medal was extended and could also be awarded to persons which through their writings or through donations had contributed to the development of public education or to the general cultural progress of the country.

The medal was awarded until 1931 when it was replaced by the Order of Cultural Merit.
