At age 9, he is only just starting first grade. A child from Buzau did not attend school because he lacked clothes and school supplies

A child from Buzău started first grade only at the age of 9, after his family did not have money for the necessary clothes and school supplies. The case is presented in an Agerpres report about disadvantaged families in the municipality, where dozens of children go to school without the essentials, and some families end up sharing clothes and footwear among siblings. The parents say that, despite working, their income is not enough for their day-to-day expenses and their children's education.
