The Ministry of Education has launched the PRIMII program to support around 50,000 primary school children in preventing functional illiteracy and school dropout. With a budget exceeding 1.21 billion lei, the initiative targets vulnerable schools at high risk of early school leaving. Funded by the European Social Fund Plus, the program will run from September 25, 2026, to December 31, 2029, and will finance various educational activities, including after-school programs and remedial lessons. Eligible schools must meet specific criteria, including a minimum number of enrolled students and a high risk of dropout. The application process has been simplified, and the deadline for submissions is October 12, 2026.
