Abstract: The objective of the research is the identification and measurement of benefits related to educational projects implemented in the rural areas. The research type refers to a study that envisions the necessity to establish after school facilities and the economic benefits associated. The analysis of the rural population shows that in Romania there are a much higher number of children aged between 5 and 14 years compared to the one in urban areas, but also a higher frequency of dropout. The result of the research shows an increase of economic and social benefits at the level of population and local administration, both on short and long term, through the development of learning and social networking abilities.
