Abstract:
Educational policies are the strategic development directions of the educational system created according to some studies of analysis, synthesis, diagnosis and prognosis typical of educational environment at all levels. Preparing a coherent set of educational policies involves identifying the social demands, aspirations and major educational issues of the community and of its development process. In the European Union, all member states are responsible for their educational and training systems; the EU policy is supposed to support the steps taken at national level and to help address common challenges such as population aging, lack of skilled workers, technological developments and global competition. In Romania, the educational system has required an ongoing reform meant to ensure a balance among quality, equity, diversity and competence at central and local levels. The Romanian educational system is continuously changing and improving in various fields and levels, in compliance with economic, social, political and cultural changes.
