Indicator history

These measures are rarely adopted and implemented. In the field of access to higher and university education, they became more frequent:

In the last years, the Ministry of Education has continued to set aside special places for Roma ethnics who meet the minimal requirements for entering upper secondary and higher education. In the 2010-2011 academic year, 7,682 special places were earmarked for Roma candidates in upper secondary schools and 555 in 49 higher education institutions across Romania. [1]
 

Since 2005, special places for Roma ethnics and for other national minorities were also set aside for entering police academies and police schools. The numbers decreased in the last year: 35 places for Roma (2009), 35 places for Roma , 15 places for Hungarians (2010), 8 places for Roma, 15 places for Hungarians and 11 places for other national minorities (2011).
