Significantly, the State increased funding for education and promulgated the universal basiceducation law which guarantees every child the right to free and compulsoryeducation for nine years.
Romania's constitution provides legal guarantees for citizens to have access to basic social services, including education which are free and compulsory up to the age of 16.
The United States differs from many other countries in that compulsory schooling ends at age 16, thus making it possible for many students to leave school before completing basiceducation as defined in United States.
