First meeting
Greece, December 2014

3. Greetings from Romania!

4. Romania is located in southeastern-central
Europe, north of the Balkan Peninsula and
on the western shore of the Black Sea.
It borders Hungary, Serbia, Ukraine, Moldova,
and Bulgaria.

6. With its 20.1 million inhabitants, Romania is
the seventh most populous member of the
European Union.
Its capital and largest city, Bucharest, is the
sixth largest city in the European Union.

8. EDUCATION IN ROMANIA
Education in Romania is based on a
tuition-freee, egalitarian system.
Access to education is guaranteed by the
Constitution.
Education is regulated and inforced by the
Ministry of education and Research.

10. Kindergarten is optional under the age of six.
At the age of six, children must join the
"preparatory school year", which is mandatory in
order to enter the first grade. Schooling starts at
the age of seven, and is compulsory until the tenth
grade (which corresponds with the age of sixteen
or seventeen).
The school educational cycle ends in the
twelfth grade, when students graduate the
baccalaureate. Higher education is aligned onto
the European Higher Education Area.

11. As of August 2010, there were
approximately 4,700 opened schools in
Romania.
As of 2011, over three million students
were enrolled in the educational system

13. Kindergarten is optional
"School Preparation Class" for children aged 6–7. The
preparation class became compulsory, and is a
requirement in order to enter primary school.
Elementary school
Elementary school lasts eight years in Romania.
Most elementary schools are public; MEC statistics
show less than 2 percent of elementary school students
attend private school. Unless parents choose a school
earlier, the future student is automatically enrolled in the
school nearest to his or her residence
