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

The composition of the school supplies packages provided to students is established based on the Methodology for the application of 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 for the Aid of Disadvantaged Persons (POAD) 2014-2020, was approved. The decision allows, starting with this school year, the purchase of supplies for preschoolers, and supplementation with backpacks of the school supplies packages provided to primary and lower secondary students.
