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

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

Financing 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, as well as supplementing the packages of supplies given to students in primary and secondary education with backpacks.
