Summary/Abstract: The literacy campaign coordinated by the Romanian Communist Party took place in the period 1945-1963 with great difficulties due to material problems, the lack of involvement of local authorities and teaching staff, as well as the Romanian mentalities of that period. Although it was heralded as a great success of the communist regime, in reality, the achievements of the whole campaign did not have the expected effects at its beginnings. In 1961, there were over eight hundred thousand illiterate people over the age of 55, wich is a clear proof of the failure of the literacy campaign in the Romanian People′s Republic.
