Student organizations are requesting a meeting with Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan to discuss the education budget, student scholarships, and the reduction of tuition fees.

The National Alliance of Student Organizations in Romania (ANOSR) has requested an audience with Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, recently appointed interim Minister of Education and Research, to discuss the education and research budget for 2026. ANOSR emphasizes the need for a dialogue based on solid data, considering the financial issues faced by students, such as low scholarships and high living costs for students, estimated at over 2,000 lei per month.

The association draws attention to the fact that Romania is below the European average in terms of support provided to students, with only 10% of their income coming from scholarships. Additionally, ANOSR highlights that a reduction in funding for higher education would negatively affect the development of the educational system, in the context where Romania has a low percentage of higher education graduates. ANOSR believes that increased attention to education funding is essential to support the accessibility of higher education.
