The "Professional scholarship" is a national social program addressed to all students attending professional education and consists of monthly financial support.

The "Professional scholarship" is also granted to children of foreigners who are beneficiaries of a form of protection in Romania, or to foreigners, respectively citizens of the European Union/European Economic Area and the Swiss Confederation with the right of stay/residence on the territory of Romania, who attend professional education.

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

At the level of the Ministry of Education, a national commission for monitoring the granting of the "Professional scholarship" is established.

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

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

The beneficiaries are students who are dependent on families whose gross monthly income per family member, earned 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 curatorship in case of meeting the above-mentioned income condition.

The documents will be submitted in copy, provided that at the time of 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, for the entire duration of the courses, if all the stipulated legal conditions are met, the amount of 250 lei/month.
In addition to the indexation of this amount (from 180 lei/month), the value of 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 granting threshold with the current economic situation.

The National Assessment for 8th grade students represents the method of external summative evaluation of the competencies acquired during lower secondary education.

The exam takes place annually in a single session. Both candidates from public education and those from private education have the right to take the National Assessment free of charge.

The average obtained at the 8th grade National Assessment is a decisive criterion for admission to high school education.

The national coordination of the design, organization, and conducting of the 8th grade National Assessment, as well as the utilization of the results, is ensured by the Ministry of Education through the National Center for Assessment and Examination (CNEE).

The development of specific assessment procedures is carried out by the CNEE, after consulting the ministry’s specialty departments.

The county/Bucharest municipality level coordination of the organization of the 8th grade National Assessment, as well as the utilization of the results, is ensured by the school inspectorate.

In order to encourage school attendance, the School Supplies Program was launched in 2002, targeting students in state primary and secondary education, day courses. At the beginning of each school year, packages with school supplies specific to each class are distributed.

The composition of the school supply packages granted to students is established based on the Methodology for applying the provisions of Law no. 126/2002 for the approval of Government Emergency Ordinance no. 33/2001 regarding the granting of school supplies.

Funding application submitted by the Ministry of National Education, at the beginning of September 2017, through the Operational Programme for Assisting Disadvantaged Persons (POAD) 2014-2020, was approved. The decision allows, starting with this school year, the purchase of supplies for preschoolers, as well as the supplementation with backpacks of the supply packages granted to students in primary and secondary education.

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

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

Inclusive education was adopted in Romania since the 1990s 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 enrolled in mainstream education.

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

Special education institutions for students with sensory impairments apply the mainstream school curriculum. These institutions keep only their 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 is specific to these institutions remains the strategies, modalities, and methods of teaching/learning.

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

For every student with severe, profound, or associated disabilities, a personalized intervention plan is drafted 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 current assessments.

It is addressed to both primary and secondary school students.

The SDS program can take place before or after the mandatory school program (depending on the schedule of each study level), at schools, in situations where they have the necessary material and human resources to organize 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, creates modules of activity packages 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, creation of school publications, participation in European cooperation activities), a package of support activities (providing psycho-pedagogical assistance for recovering learning gaps, support activities for doing homework, remedial activities, psychological counseling), and a package of preparation for life (organizing personal development activities, activities aimed at developing an active attitude and student involvement, healthy lifestyle, career education, etc.

The program can be organized modularly, over time units established at the school level according to the target group and identified needs, by combining activity packages oriented towards the development of transferable skills.

The program is carried out in groups of students (maximum 12 students), formed according to identified options and needs. Activities are designed, organized, and supported by teachers 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 admission of 8th grade graduates to state high school education for the 2018-2019 school year takes place according to the regulatory framework approved by the Ministry of Education.

The admission of 8th grade graduates to state high school education for the 2018-2019 school year takes place in accordance with the methodology for organizing and conducting the admission to state high school education for the 2011-2012 school year, approved by Order of the Minister of Education, Research, Youth and Sports no. 4,802/2010 regarding the organization and conduct of admission to state high school education for the 2011-2012 school year.

Aptitude tests organized for admission in the 2018-2019 school year in vocational high schools are conducted in accordance with the methodology for organizing and conducting and the structure of aptitude tests for admission in vocational high schools, provided in annex no. 3 to the order of the Minister of National Education no. 4,432/2014, with subsequent amendments.

Candidates who, during lower secondary education, pass internationally recognized exams for the certification of linguistic competencies in foreign languages may request the recognition and equivalence of the results obtained in these exams with the test for verifying knowledge of a modern language for admission to 9th grade classes with bilingual teaching of a modern language of international circulation.

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

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

The schedule for re-enrollments and enrollments will be established by the management of the educational unit and will be displayed, in a visible place, in each kindergarten, for the information of parents and the interested public, including on its website (if it exists), and possibly on the county school inspectorate websites.

Filling the available spots, after the re-enrollment process is completed, 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 available spaces, 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 higher than the number of available spots, general and specific separation criteria will be applied successively.

The general separation criteria are as follows:

• 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 similar to the case of a child orphaned by both parents);
• the existence of a document proving that the child is orphaned by only one parent;
• the existence of a brother/sister enrolled in the respective educational unit;
• the existence of a medical certificate attesting the child’s degree of disability.

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

To ensure transparency of the re-enrollment/enrollment process, the management of preschool education units will display, in plain sight, for all interested parties, the following information:

• the institution’s capacity (the number of children for which it was designed);
• 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 established period) out of the total available.

We mention that private preschool education units are also required to visibly display the information regarding their status, namely whether they are authorized to operate provisionally or are accredited by the Agency for Quality Assurance in Pre-University Education (ARACIP).

Post-secondary education is organized for professional qualifications established by the Ministry of National Education in accordance with the National Qualifications Register.

Graduates of high school with or without a baccalaureate diploma may enroll in post-secondary education, admission being carried out in accordance with the general criteria established by the Ministry of National Education.

Post-secondary education is conducted through post-secondary school and master school. Both the post-secondary school and the master school represent specialized training routes, with a duration of 1-3 years, depending on the complexity of the qualification.

Graduates of post-secondary education who pass the professional qualification certification exam obtain a level 5 qualification certificate according to the National Qualifications Framework, corresponding to reference level 5 of the European Qualifications Framework (specialist technician) and the descriptive supplement of the certificate, according to Europass.

Post-secondary education is organized in post-secondary schools, within high schools with legal personality, or in colleges within accredited higher education institutions.

Schooling in state post-secondary education is financed through the local budgets of administrative-territorial units, from amounts allocated from the state budget revenues and from local budget revenues. Schooling can also be financed by applicants, individuals or legal entities, through a contract concluded with the educational unit providing the schooling.

Education and professional training credits obtained in post-secondary education can be recognized for graduates with a baccalaureate diploma by universities, based on the decisions of the university senate, as transferable study credit units for the bachelor's level.

​

Enrollment in primary education is done based on a methodology approved by the Ministry of Education.

Thus, children who turn 6 years old by August 31, 2018, inclusive, must be enrolled in the preparatory class, in accordance with the Education Law.

Parents must go to school inspectorates and educational institutions, which are obliged to provide information and counseling regarding enrollment.
