In order to stimulate school attendance, in 2002 the School Supplies Program was launched, targeting students in public education, primary and secondary levels, daytime 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 determined 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 request submitted by the Ministry of National Education, at the beginning of September 2017, through the Operational Program Assistance for Disadvantaged Persons (POAD) 2014-2020 was approved. The decision allows, starting with this school year, the purchase of supplies for preschoolers, and the addition of backpacks to the supply packages granted to students in primary and secondary levels.
