At least 500 parents attended a private high school fairorganised in Bucharest this weekend, to see the educational offerof 17 private high schools of Great Britain, Switzerland andGermany, where tuition fees go as high as 80,000 euros peryear.
"We estimate that around 120 Romanian school children each yearleave Romania to study in private foreign schools. For instance, atpresent 53 children are registered with Swiss high schools and 67with British ones. Usually, parents study the offers two yearsbefore their children reach the high school age," says SvetlanDanev, general manager and co-owner of Bulgaria's Integral group,the organiser of "Europe's Elite High Schools Fair" that took placein Bucharest during last weekend, now at its second edition inRomania. Integral Programe Educaţionale, which organises such fairsin Bulgaria as well, has been present in Romania for threeyears.
Annually, 5,000 Romanians go abroad to study, according toEducation Ministry estimates, but only part of them attend thehighest ranking education programmes internationally. Only 200Romanians last year registered with one of the world's bestuniversities, according to the data centralised by ZF on the basisof information from universities.
