Summary/Abstract: According to a new report of the European Commission, the European area in which one lives can have a considerable influence on the education and on the life perspectives. Starting with the results that are included in this report, the current paper aims to move the analysis to the Romanian space, studying the discrepancies between macro regions (NW, Center, NE, SE, South-Muntenia, Bucharest – Ilfov, SW, West) to the principal educational indicators. The research is going to use the FAC method (The Factorial Analysis of the Correspondents) which is a descriptive method of multidimensional analysis of the data based on the calculus of the 2 distances between the points. Through this method we are going to test not only the independence of the variables, but their association as well.
