Reforma învățământului preuniversitar în România
Consolidarea sistemelor de conducere, de evaluare și de sprijin
Romania’s education system is at a turning point. In 2023, the government passed a
new law on school education that sets out significant changes to how schooling is
provided, governed and resourced. These changes come at a critical time for the country’s
development. While Romania is one of Europe’s fastest-growing economies, its education
outcomes remain among the lowest in the European Union. The measures in the new law
are crucial for ensuring quality education, fostering economic growth and enhancing
inclusivity.
This policy perspective offers recommendations on how to take forward planned reforms.
It focuses on four specific sets of policies that will be instrumental in improving
school quality and equity: school evaluation and support; resources for education;
the teaching profession; and the data and monitoring system. At the centre of these
are proposals to make teaching a highly skilled and rewarding profession by better
connecting performance, promotion and pay, and progressively strengthening schools’
pedagogical leadership through developmental school evaluations and support. At a
strategic level, Romania will need a step change in how education policies are funded
and evaluated. This implies more strategic planning and budgeting to align resources
with long-term policy priorities, and much-expanded analytical capacities to monitor
and evaluate implementation and outcomes and hold institutions accountable.
