EDUCATION IN ROMANIA, BETWEEN POLITICS AND POLITICIES
EDUCATION IN ROMANIA, BETWEEN POLITICS AND POLITICIES

Summary/Abstract: "Education is everything you see and hear" said Nicolae Iorga. We regard education as a strategic development factor since an economy cannot be competitive unless its workforce is well-trained. On the other hand, education is what differentiates us as individuals, as peoples. The topic of the current research is based on the analysis of educational policies developed in Romania during the transition and posttransition period. Public policies are not identified with politics, even if they are related to the political system. The political interference in education has generated the fragmentation of the reform, legislative instability, the incoherence of educational policies. The consequences of this undesirable interference are reflected, today, in the paideutic deadlock in which the Romanian school finds itself. Starting from this reality, we appreciate that a rethinking of educational policies is required, aimed at a new axiological education, a "re-evaluation of all values" in the context of Europeanization and globalization.
