Since 2018, in our school we have an electronics and robotics group within the County Center of Excellence Neamt. The students are very often coming from poor families at risk of social exclusion. The industry in our county is situated at a low level with consequences in creating jobs. As a general consequence of the industry decline the unemployment rate is very high and the graduates cannot find workplaces easily in the first years after graduation. Most of the youngsters are migrating to urban regions from Romania or from other countries after school graduation.
In 2016, our school was awarded the European School Certificate for the third consecutive time as a recognition of the quality of the instructive-educational and management act.
