Three Romanian families from Bucharest and Constanța shared the significant costs they incurred for private tutoring for their children's 8th-grade National Evaluation exam.

Thousands of Romanian children are growing up with at least one parent working abroad, a common consequence of migration from one of the EU's poorest countries, leading to significant family separation.

A dispute between two large Romanian families in Dortmund's Nordstadt district escalated into a massive street brawl involving dozens of people, with machetes, bottles, planks, and even a pistol reportedly used, resulting in four injuries.

In Romania's Jiu Valley, many impoverished families are resorting to burning second-hand clothes, bought in bulk, in their stoves to heat their homes and children because they cannot afford firewood.
