Short Answer

No statistical data available on children enrollment. Certain qualitative data as to obstacles encountered in accessing language and cultural orientation courses.

Qualitative Info

A 2011 report making reference to other research points out that there are a number of obstacles immigrants face in accessing the Romanian language and cultural orientation courses they should have access to: they do not know what is on offer; where to look for the offer; or how to enroll; the timetable fails to take into account the potential beneficiaries’ work schedule; the courses are not adapted to the cultural specificities of the immigrant communities; the courses should provide for accelerated learning of the language; the providers should issue certificates that prove the level of Romanian language mastery; the offer should include more than one knowledge levels.
