This study allowed an analysis of EU funds distribution in the Romanian undergraduate educational field between 2007-2013 and the identification of a possible Matthew effect in a period marked by distinct societal changes. The source of our data is a cross-sectional study conducted in schools from five Romanian counties (Timiş, Caraş-Severin, Mehedinţi, Hunedoara and Gorj). The research focused itself on three main directions: the directors of secondary school, the teachers from the same schools and the 7.th grade students. Finally, a representative group of 80 educational institutions was selected. Based on our research results, we can assume that the involvement in EU projects (SOP HRD/POS DRU) was a process significantly determined by school characteristics rather than by the individual specificity of the teachers. As concluded, we can assume that the sustainability of the interventions remains unclear and their long-term effects uncertain for the vulnerable groups.
Keywords: European funds, education, social disadvantages, Matthew effect
