Sexuality education in Romania

SHAPE classifies the sexuality education framework in Romania as restricted. This describes the national policy framework, not how every school delivers it.

Restricted framework

Last checked 14/09/2026 · This is information only, not advice or a recommendation.

  • National framework: Health education containing sexuality topics remains optional and subject to parental consent; there is no uniformly implemented comprehensive national programme.
  • Interpretation: The status summarizes the verified policy framework; it does not guarantee uniform classroom delivery.
