World Vision România: Bursele sociale trebuie acordate și în vacanțe. Vulnerabilitatea economică a copiilor nu urmează calendarul școlar

World Vision Romania urges the Ministry of Education to maintain social scholarships for students during school breaks, highlighting the financial challenges faced by low-income families. The organization warns that discontinuing financial support during vacation months could increase the risk of school dropout, particularly for vulnerable children. They emphasize that financial needs persist year-round, and summer months can bring additional expenses. The organization cites that nearly half of rural children live in families struggling to meet basic needs, and economic difficulties can compound other factors leading to school abandonment. A government proposal to eliminate scholarships during breaks is currently under public consultation.
