Educational Counseling Approach for the Romanian Educational System
Educational Counseling Approach for the Romanian Educational System

Summary/Abstract: Romanian education has gone through massive changes over the last two decades, first shifting from a closed-market economy to capitalism and then trying to adapt to European Union Policies. At the same time, after the 2007 EU adherence, the country also witnessed demographic and economic turbulences. Combined, all these factors have had influences on education and on the labor market. This paper tries to present professional counseling as one of the solutions for improving educational performances and access to the labor market. Career counseling and schooling guidance are discussed as the approaches which can help youngsters better manage their professional lives, from choosing the right school or university to follow, up to finding the proper workplace. The main limitations of the paper reside in the lack of specialized scientific literature on which to base the assumptions and create a sound methodology. In this case, the paper resumes to theoretically presenting an educational counseling approach that might be implemented in Romanian educational institutions for the benefit of pupils.
