Summary/Abstract: Optional courses constitute the flexible part of the school curriculum, which offers the students a possibility of expressing their options in order to fulfill their individual needs. Surprisingly and indeed shockingly, however, the vast majority of the fields covered by optional subjects within the framework of an academic year in general education coincides with the fields of study of the compulsory subjects, which creates vulnerabilities to exclude the perception of their achievement from the perspective of extending the study of the basic disciplines. The lack of data and analysis on the segment of the annual fulfillment of the flexible component of the National Framework Plan with open access for both academic researchers and educational actors indicates a lack of expertise at central level and the invalidity of the public policies developed in the field, not having been based on evidence.
