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

The composition of the school supplies 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.

The 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, respectively the supplement with backpacks of the supply packages granted to students in the primary and lower secondary cycle.
