In order to encourage school attendance, in 2002 the School Supplies Program was launched, aimed at students in state primary and lower secondary education, attending 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 the application of the provisions of Law no. 126/2002 for the approval of Government Emergency Ordinance no. 33/2001 on granting school supplies.

Funding application submitted by the Ministry of National Education, at the beginning of September 2017, through the Operational Program for Assisting Disadvantaged Persons (POAD) 2014-2020 was approved. The decision allows, starting with this school year, the purchase of supplies for preschoolers, as well as the addition of backpacks to the supply packages granted to students in the primary and lower secondary cycles.
