The Romanian education system is made up of the following levels:

1)      Pre or early childhood education (0-6 years), consisting of:

a.       Pre-pre-school for children aged 0-3 years.

b.      Pre-school or kindergarten for children aged 3-6 years organized in groups: lower  group, middle group, upper group.

2)      Primary education made up of the preparatory class and grades I to IV.

3)      Secondary education made up of:

a.       Lower secondary (gymnasiums) which includes grades V to VIII and ends up with the taking of a “national test examination”. The examination tests pupils’ knowledge in the fields of Romanian language and literature and Mathematics. 

b.      Upper secondary (high school) which includes grades IX—XII and has the following branches: theoretical, technological and vocational (art, sport, theology). Enrollment is made on the basis of the results in the national test exam and the average grade of the gymnasium. High school studies end up with a “baccalaureate examination”. After passing this examination, the graduates get the “baccalaureate diploma”. Only students in the technological and vocational branches must take in addition a “qualification examination” and get a “qualification certificate”.   

4)      Professional education: is organized by technical and vocational high schools and form students in professions required by the job market. The studies end up with a “qualification examination”. After passing this examination, the graduates get a “qualification certificate”. Graduates can then continue their studies in the upper-secondary cycle, a technological or vocational high-school, in a low- frequency program.
