It would be exaggerated if we should consider the Russian language and the discrimination the main factors that obstructed the Bessarabian Romanians to go to the Russian secondary schools. The Jews, for example, were subjects to the same persecutions, but the number of Hebrew pupils has risen continuously. Therefore, it is more about the school culture at Romanians. We could admit that this result was determined by the Gymnasium Admission Rules, according to which pupils had to stay in their parents’ homes or in hosts approved by the school administration. At the same time, we should not neglect the great effort made by Jewish parents to register their children in gymnasiums. A large number of cases were reported in the archive documents in which Jewish parents falsified their children’s birth certificates in order to be able to register them at school. Some of them went to the governor, despite the fact that there existed a limited number for admission to studies for this community.
