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 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.

Keywords: education, after school, rural environment, economic benefits, social benefits.
