Summary/Abstract: Many managers and policy makers of Romanian public educational institutions, including higher education institutions, are still simple administrators, with limited vision, reluctant to change, progress and competition. The experience acquired through education must be continuous, and the central problem of education is to select the type of experiences that amplify the current experiences still occurring. This has been Dewey’s concept since the end of the 19th century. John Dewey’s thinking and works have led to major transformations in the education sciences and educational policies in the US and beyond.
