Summary/Abstract: In a country where the education system exhibit negative symptoms increased, the state continues to direct attention in terms of budget allocation to other areas. A slight increase of 0.66% in 2013 compared to 3.64 percent of GDP allocated to education in 2012 can’t cover the cost of managing acute crisis in which it is located. Disastrous failure of high school graduates at the baccalaureate exams in the last two calendar years, an alarming increase in the number of violent conflicts in Romanian schools, family-school partnership fragility, blocking positions and failure to ensure school counselors, human resource poorly motivated to support an act quality educational, legislative changes annual school curriculum correlation with the needsof the labor market, etc.. are just some of the deficiencies highlighted that endanger the generations and evolution predicts major sociocultural changes. On the background of these findings, boosted by demographic decline and maintaining constant migratory flows, sociological analyzes come to confirm fears and alarming predictions outlining the educational future of children and young Romanians. What to do? What type of actions to be taken to improve the situation and slow the degradation? We intend to provide answers to these questions in this article that aims to capture the social policies applied in the family, education and employment and to create the reflection on the possibilities of change.
