“Professional scholarship” is a national social program addressed to all students attending vocational education and consists of monthly financial support.

The “Professional scholarship” is also available to children of foreigners who are beneficiaries of a form of protection in Romania or to foreigners, namely citizens of the European Union/European Economic Area and the Swiss Confederation with the right of residence on the territory of Romania, who attend vocational education.

Students in vocational education cannot simultaneously benefit from both the “Professional scholarship” and the financial support granted to students within the national social protection program “Money for high school”.

At the level of the Ministry of Education, a national commission is established to monitor the granting of the “Professional scholarship”.

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

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

Funding request submitted by the Ministry of National Education, at the beginning of September 2017, through the Operational Program for Aid to Disadvantaged Persons (POAD) 2014-2020, was approved. The decision allows, starting with this school year, the purchase of supplies for preschoolers, and the supplementation with backpacks of the packages of supplies granted to students in the primary and gymnasium cycles.

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 to 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 effective means of information.

Beneficiaries are students who are in the care of families whose gross monthly income per family member, realized 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 who are under guardianship or trusteeship, subject to the above-mentioned income condition.

The documents will be submitted in copy, 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 the courses, if all the provided 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 ceiling for awarding the scholarship was also increased from 150 lei to 500 lei/family member, given the need to correlate the award ceiling with the current economic situation.

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

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

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

The filling of the available spots, after the re-enrollment process is completed, will generally be done in decreasing order by 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 spots, children aged between 2 and 3 years can also be enrolled in the small group.

If, in an educational institution, the number of enrollment requests exceeds the number of available spots, general selection criteria and specific selection criteria will be applied, successively.

The general selection criteria are as follows:

• existence of a document proving that a child is orphaned by both parents (the situation of a child coming from a children's home/foster center/foster family is assimilated to the situation of a child orphaned by both parents);
• existence of a document proving the child is orphaned by one parent;
• existence of a brother/sister enrolled in the respective educational institution;
• existence of a medical certificate regarding the child's degree of disability.

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

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

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

We mention that private preschool educational institutions are also obliged to post, in a visible place, 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).

The 2018 National Baccalaureate Exam is conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Methodology for Organizing and Conducting the Baccalaureate Exam - 2011 (approved by the order of the Minister of Education, Research, Youth and Sports no. 4.799/2010 regarding the organization and conducting of the Baccalaureate Exam - 2011, with subsequent amendments), and the provisions of the attached ministerial order.

The "Second Chance" program is aimed at adolescents, young people, and adults from various social backgrounds and of different ages who have not attended or have not completed primary and lower secondary education. The program offers these categories of people the opportunity to continue and complete compulsory education without having to interrupt their 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 including a vocational training component.

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

Through the program, innovative elements have been introduced into the educational process, such as: modular curriculum and the credit system for basic education, evaluation, certification, and recognition of competencies previously acquired by the students, provision of 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 may have very different levels and expectations. The new program ensures a transparent offer of modules that students can pursue to develop competences, as a result of participating in cooperative learning activities, in real-life contexts and with tasks and topics that meet their interests and needs.

Learning will take place in small groups (8-15 students per class). Courses can be held according to several timetable variants (weekdays in the afternoon or evening, on Saturdays, or during school holidays, etc.), depending on the possibilities of the learners and teaching staff. Times are scheduled for individual consultations available to students.

The program has a flexible duration. The average schooling duration (2 years for primary education, 4 years for lower secondary education) can be reduced for each student, depending on the competencies 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:

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

The exam is held 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 National Assessment for eighth grade is a decisive criterion for admission to high school education.

The national coordination of the planning, organization, and conduct of the National Assessment for eighth grade, as well as the utilization of its results, are ensured by the Ministry of Education through the National Center for Assessment and Examination (CNEE).

The development of specific evaluation procedures is carried out by CNEE, following consultation with the ministry’s specialized departments.

At the county level/the municipality of Bucharest, the coordination of the organization of the National Assessment for eighth grade, as well as the utilization of its results, is ensured by the school inspectorate.

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

The SDS program can take place before or after the mandatory school curriculum (depending on the schedule of each study level), at schools, if 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, speech 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 modules of activity packages by combining the activities mentioned above.

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

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

Inclusive education was adopted in Romania since the 1990s by respecting diversity, initiating and practically achieving 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 was designed to respond to a wide and very varied spectrum of special situations. Taking this reality into account, special, special integrated, 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 are similar to mainstream schools. Special technological high schools, high school classes, and special post-secondary classes are organized according to the model of mainstream schools (content, profiles, specializations, outcomes, objectives and/or competencies). What remains specific to these units are the strategies, modalities, and methods of teaching/learning.

Upon graduation, students of 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 every student with severe, profound, or associated disabilities, a personalized intervention plan is developed with objectives specific to the needs and possibilities of psycho-individual development.

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

The admission of eighth grade graduates to state high school education for the 2018-2019 school year is conducted according to the regulatory framework approved by the Ministry of Education.
