2007
CNE was officially founded in 2007, but school and local structures developed earlier because of a real need identified by school students. When democracy became more developed in Romania, beginning with the 21st century, school students needed an organised structure in order to represent their rights and interests. CNE had a strong evolution, obtaining rights in the benefit of school students from Romania and becoming a powerful voice in the Romanian society.
