The most significant research data highlights the existence of a complex support framework. At the same time, the study identifies several challenges, including:
- The limited number of teachers who are trained and involved in teaching Romanian to migrant children and youth
- The need to expand teacher training programs for teaching Romanian without relying on a support language
- The insufficiency of support materials, learning resources, and auxiliary materials
- Limited experience in using standardized tools for assessing developed linguistic competencies
- The highly varied levels of preparation and motivation within student groups, which become more pronounced as Romanian language programs progress
- Irregular participation and high absenteeism rates among certain students
- The impact of traumatic experiences and the additional need for socio-emotional support for refugee children
