ROMANIA - Rights of People with Intellectual Disabilities: Access to Education and Employment

Access to education and employment for people with intellectual disabilities

People with intellectual disabilities in Romania face limited education and employment opportunities. This is revealed by the monitoring report, Rights of People with Intellectual Disabilities: Access to Education and Employment in Romania, released on 31 August 2005 in Mamaia, Romania, at the conference "Community living for persons with intellectual disabilities."

The monitoring report was produced by the Open Society Institute (EUMAP and Mental Health Initiative) in cooperation with the Romanian organisation Pentru Voi. It is part of a series of fourteen country reports on the rights of people with intellectual disabilities in Europe, focusing on their access to education and employment. The reports monitor the degree to which existing international standards and national legislation are heeded and applied. Each report contains a list of concrete recommendations for improving policies, and ensuring the implementation of these policies in practice.
