Please find below the instructions on how to enrol your kid into Romanian school, taking as a reference the order of the Ministry of Education no. 3363 of 10.03.2022.

The enrolment can be done at any time during the school year.

Enrolment process

At the School Inspectorate, you will be asked to fill in a special application form. This application form exists in three languages – Ukrainian, Romanian and English. Only the application in Romanian is registered at the Inspectorate. If you complete the application in Ukrainian or English, you will be instructed by an authorised person, at the office of the Inspectorate, to identically complete an application in Romanian, using the already written form. 

Please check the application form in Romanian, Ukrainian and English.

You will have to select an option for the status that the child will have in school:

1. Audient, at the level of study/groups/classes (to be completed with the year of study) – means that the pupil will listen and be present in class at the lectures and will be registered in school catalogs, but does not pass tests and doesn’t get grades. The child can receive grades only if he is officially registered as a pupil (elev)  in the Romanian educational system and follows the procedure for equating the studies done in Ukraine. 
2. Extracurricular activities, without obtaining the quality of audience – involves participation in any activity outside the school, such as sports clubs, painting, drawing, dancing, depending on what the school has. The pupil will not be registered in the provisional catalogs.
3. Psycho-pedagogical assistance and counselling activities – means guidance, moral and psychological support and self-knowledge activities, depending on the human resource of the schools in the county.

Below, the parent can opt for the accommodation of the pupil, the provision of food, transport or schooling in the hospital for the child. The Inspectorate will try to match the needs of the family with the facilities of the schools in the county.

If a family believes that they need to enrol their kid in a boarding school (​​școală cu internat), the Inspectorate will try to assign them. If a family wants the pupil to eat at school, the inspectorate will try to find a school where there is a canteen or, through various volunteer associations, a meal is provided there for that child.

In the last spaces of the document, you will have to fill in a home address, e-mail and a phone number through which you will keep in touch with the school authorities.

Other necessary documents:

• child’s birth certificate
• child’s ID-card or international passport (if available)
• Passport of ID-card of the parent
• Temporary protection document
• (optional) official school diplomas, report cards or other documents that you have at hand about the schooling done in Ukraine up to present time.

Shortly after submitting your application, the school inspectorate will select a suitable school for you (public or private, according to your preferences). Education in public schools is free. You will receive an email from the Inspectorate with information about which school your child is enrolled in. You will then need to go to that school to confirm your enrolment.
