Summary/Abstract: Education stayed during the communist dictatorship mainly in the attention of the political leaders as having been taken for an important element in building a new society and human, according to the context of the time and especially to the future set objectives. Labor preparing for the Romanian economy was made especially through the means of the educational system, mainly by developing the higher education/ instruction. It was called to be in line with the evolution of technology and, generally, with the Romanian society modernizing, but also with the political requirements of the time, and form so suitable specialists both by their professional level and number. It is the case of economic education too. Graduates were the one to lead economy “on the spot”. A significant number of specialists were prepared in different specializations. I have dwelled in the present article mainly on the statistical evolution of the higher economic education to present new statistical data, broken down by more essential indicators. The analyzed period is the one between 1975 and 1989 exclusively; it is the period for which I have in my disposition detailed statistical data, but there are also other reasons for my option. The 15 analyzed years found up both the maximum qualitative development of the higher education (economic in this case) and its lowest point by showing also how they managed the difficult economic and general situation of the Romanian society at the end of the 1980s. An incursion in the history of the higher economic education during these years was also made, using structural items mainly, on the basis of new archivistic documents and legislative papers to allow us understand the statistic evolution in the done context.
