The "Professional Scholarship" is a national social program aimed at all students attending professional education and consists of monthly financial support.

Children of foreigners who are beneficiaries of a form of protection in Romania or of foreigners, respectively citizens of the European Union/European Economic Area and the Swiss Confederation with the right of residence in Romania, who attend professional education, also benefit from the "Professional Scholarship".

Students in professional education cannot benefit simultaneously from the "Professional Scholarship" and the financial support granted within the National Social Protection Program "High School Money".

At the level of the Ministry of Education, a national commission is established to monitor the granting of the "Professional Scholarship".

This procedure regulates the way of organizing and conducting the language proficiency test for admission to the 5th grade with an intensive teaching program of a modern internationally-used language, at the level of public or private pre-university education units in Romania, based on the provisions of Art. 6 (2) and (3) of the Framework Regulation for the organization and functioning of classes with teaching of a modern language in an intensive or bilingual regime in pre-university education units, approved by OMEN no. 4797/31.08.2017.

The Ministry of Education has been running for more than 12 years the national social protection program "Money for High School", through which financial support is granted to students in high schools and schools of arts and trades.

For students who wish to obtain this financial support, we have launched the Money for High School portal, which, together with the discussion forum dedicated to this national program, represents an efficient means of information.

The beneficiaries are students who are in the care of families whose gross monthly income per family member, achieved in the last 3 months prior to submitting the file, is a maximum of 500 lei, as well as students who benefit from a protection measure or are under guardianship or conservatorship, in case the above-mentioned income condition is met.

The documents will be submitted as copies, provided that, when submitting the application, the applicant also presents the original documents.

IMPORTANT!

By adopting Government Decision 712/2018 (available attached), starting with the 2018-2019 school year, each beneficiary will receive monthly, throughout the duration of courses, provided all the legal conditions are met, the amount of 250 lei/month.
In addition to the indexation of this amount (from 180 lei/month), the maximum threshold for granting the scholarship has also been increased from 150 lei to 500 lei/family member, given the need to correlate the support threshold with the current economic situation.

This methodology includes rules for the organization and conduct of the certification exam for graduates of high school education, technological track, hereinafter referred to as the certification exam, for obtaining the qualification certificate, in accordance with art. 31 para. (6) and art. 77 para. (6) and (7) of the National Education Law no. 1/2011, with subsequent amendments and completions.

The Ministry of National Education informs that, for the inclusion in preschool education of children aged between 3 and 6 years, the following stages will successively take place at the level of each educational unit:

• re-enrollment of children who are attending kindergarten this school year and wish to attend it also in the 2018-2019 school year - will begin on May 7;
• enrollment of new children will take place starting May 21.

The schedule for re-enrollments and enrollments will be set by the management of the educational unit and will be posted, in a visible place, in each kindergarten, to inform parents and interested public, including on its website (if any), and possibly on the websites of school inspectorates.

Filling the available places, after completing the re-enrollment process, will generally be done in descending order of age groups, as follows: large group (5-year-old children), middle group (4-year-old children), and small group (3-year-old children). Based on Government Decision no. 1.252/2012 and within the limits of available places, children aged between 2 and 3 years can also be enrolled in the small group.

If, in an educational unit, the number of enrollment requests is greater than the number of available places, general and specific tie-breaking criteria will be applied successively.

The general tie-breaking criteria are the following:

• the existence of a document proving that a child is an orphan of both parents (the situation of a child coming from an orphanage/a placement center/family placement is treated as the situation of a child orphaned of both parents);
• the existence of a document proving the child is orphaned of one parent;
• the existence of a brother/sister enrolled in the respective educational unit;
• the existence of a medical certificate classifying the child as disabled.

The specific tie-breaking criteria (developed by each preschool educational unit, approved by its Board of Administration, and endorsed by the County School Inspectorate/the Bucharest Municipality until May 18) cannot be discriminatory and cannot include pre-enrollment lists. Also, the specific tie-breaking criteria will be applied only after the exhaustion of the general criteria.

To ensure transparency of the re-enrollment/enrollment process, the managements of preschool educational units will display, visibly, for all interested, the following information:

• the institution's capacity (the number of children it was designed for);
• the number of places approved by the schooling plan for the 2018-2019 school year (by age groups: small, middle, large);
• the general and specific criteria for enrolling children;
• the number of children re-enrolled/enrolled daily (during the set period) from the total available.

We mention that private preschool educational units also have the obligation to display, in a visible place, information regarding their status, namely whether they are authorized to function provisionally or are accredited by the Agency for Quality Assurance in Pre-university Education (ARACIP).

The "School after School" (ȘDȘ) program is a complementary program to the compulsory school curriculum, which offers opportunities for formal and non-formal learning, for consolidating skills, remedial learning, and accelerated learning through educational, recreational, and leisure activities, addressing both primary and secondary school students.

The SDS program can take place before or after the compulsory school schedule (depending on the timetable of each level of study), at schools, if they have the necessary material and human resources for organizing this program.

In primary education, the SDS program includes activities with specialized support (supervision and guidance in doing homework, recovery for students with cognitive, emotional difficulties, language disorders through remedial activities, counseling, speech therapy, activities to encourage independent reading, etc.), workshops/thematic activities, and other recreational activities.

Each school, depending on the target group, organizes sets of activity modules by combining the above-mentioned activities.

In secondary education, the SDS program includes a package of activities for accelerated learning and performance (preparation for participation in competitions and school olympiads, sports, artistic, subject-based contests, participation/organization of festivals, exhibitions, production of school publications, participation in European cooperation activities), a support package (ensuring psychopedagogical assistance for recovering learning gaps, support activities for doing homework, remedial activities, psychological counseling) and a life preparation package (organizing personal development activities, activities aimed at developing an active attitude and student involvement, a healthy lifestyle, career education, etc.).

The program can be organized in modules, on time units established at the level of the educational institution depending on the target group and identified needs, by combining activity packages oriented towards developing transferable skills.

The program is run in groups of students (maximum 12 students), formed according to identified options and needs. The activities are designed, organized, and supported by teaching staff from primary and secondary education, counselors, support teachers, librarians, speech therapists, laboratory assistants, pedagogues, coaches, school mediators, volunteers from the school, from qualified partner institutions and organizations.

The “Second Chance” program is addressed to adolescents, young people, adults, coming from diverse social backgrounds and of various ages, who have not attended or have not completed primary and secondary education. The program offers these categories of people the possibility to continue and complete compulsory education without having to interrupt their possible professional or family activities in which they are engaged.

The program is structured on two levels: Second Chance – primary education and Second Chance – lower secondary education – the latter also having a vocational training component.

There is no upper age limit for those who wish to enroll in this program. The condition is that they have exceeded by at least 4 years the age corresponding to the class and who are in the following situations:

For the Second Chance – primary education program:

• they have not participated at all in formal - school education;
• they were enrolled, but abandoned primary education – regardless of when and why they abandoned;
• they did not graduate primary education by the age of 14.

For the Second Chance – lower secondary education program:

• they graduated compulsory primary education (including in the Second Chance system) but did not continue their education

or:

• they graduated some of the classes corresponding to lower secondary education (V, VI or VII), but abandoned school during this education cycle – regardless of when and why they abandoned.

The Second Chance program is a flexible program, so as to motivate trainees and get them to complete it, to give schools more autonomy regarding its implementation, but also the necessary support for everyone involved, through teacher training programs and educational materials for trainees and teachers. Through the program, innovative elements have been introduced in the educational process, such as: modular curriculum and credit system for basic education, assessment, certification and recognition of competences previously acquired by the trainees, ensuring an individualized training program.

Enrollment in the Second Chance program can be done every year, in two sessions: October and February.

Students enrolled in the program can have very different levels and expectations. The new program ensures a transparent offer of modules that students can follow to develop competences, as a result of participation in cooperative learning activities, in real contexts and with tasks and topics that meet their interests and needs.

Learning will take place in small groups (8-15 students in each class). Courses can take place according to several timetable options (during the week in the afternoon or evening, on Saturdays or during school holidays, etc.) depending on the possibilities of the trainees and teaching staff. Individual consultation hours are planned at the students’ disposal.

The program has a flexible duration. The average schooling duration (2 years for primary education, respectively 4 years for lower secondary education) can be reduced for each student, depending on the competences demonstrated, both in basic education and in vocational training.

Graduates have the right to continue their studies, according to the provisions of the law, as follows:

Graduates of the Second Chance Program - primary education can continue their studies in lower secondary education;

Graduates of the Second Chance Program - lower secondary education can continue their studies in upper secondary education (upper cycle of high school) or can undertake practical training periods, after which they have the opportunity to also obtain a professional qualification Certificate level 3.

For young people in the program, the graduation certificate will not represent just a personal success, but the chance for another tomorrow.

Special and integrated special education is an integral part of the Romanian national education system and offers all children/students/young people educational programs adapted to their degree of impairment and their developmental needs.

It is organized at all levels of pre-university education, depending on the type and degree of disability, as follows: mental, hearing, visual, locomotor, associated. 

Inclusive education was adopted in Romania since the '90s by respecting diversity, initiating and practically implementing access and participation in education and social life for all categories of children. Today, about half of students with disabilities are educated in mainstream education.

The legislation in the field of special education has been designed to respond to a wide and very varied spectrum of special situations. Taking into account this reality, special, integrated special and inclusive education has been organized at all levels of pre-university education, depending on the type and degree of disability.

Special education units for students with sensory impairments apply the curriculum of mainstream schools. These units retain only the structure and form of organization according to the special education system, and in content, school preparation and specialization they are similar to mainstream schools. Special technological high schools, high school classes and special post-secondary classes are organized following the model of mainstream schools (content, profiles, specializations, outcomes, objectives and/or competences). What remains specific to these units are the strategies, modalities and methods of teaching/learning.

Upon graduation, students from these special education units take national exams (tests, baccalaureate or graduation exam) just like all graduates from mainstream education. For them, facilities and adaptations are stipulated in the methodologies for organizing and conducting the exams.

For each student with severe, profound or associated impairments, a personalized intervention plan is developed with objectives specific to their needs and psycho-individual development possibilities.

Students with special educational needs benefit from adaptations of examination procedures also in the case of ongoing assessments.
