Summary/Abstract: Private education represented in the modern era an alternative to public education. Private education has contributed to the training pupils, in a period in which the state does not have the capacity to open sufficient schools and to form enough teachers. However, the state has tried on several occasions to exercise control over private schools and impose on their own programs of study. The State conditioning opening of the private schools and he had decided that the children may be examined by teachers in public schools. Between private schools, a special role it was occupied by the Jewish schools. Financed by the members of the Jewish community or different domestic and international companies, the Jewish schools were characterized by special school curricula, as they were, inter alia, German or Old Testament study. Developments in Jewish schools depended on official policy, up until the 70s tendency are to educate the Jews in public schools dominated by the Romanians, to be more easily assimilated. The success of this approach, forced the authorities to restrict access of Jews in public schools, because it is considered that they hold the places which would have been occupied by Romanian students. The result was the development and diversification of the Jewish schools, as well the improvement of quality of private education.
