Main points highlighted in the article:
Romania ranks last in Europe in terms of the percentage of the population with higher education. Although there has been a slight increase since 2013, our country remains at the bottom of Europe in this regard.
The rate of functional illiteracy has increased alarmingly, by 400-500% compared to 1994. This means that a significant percentage of students who finish middle school do not have the basic skills needed to understand and use information.
Vocational and technical education is attended by a large number of students with poor results in the National Assessment. This raises questions about the quality of training offered in these schools.
The excessive technologization of education does not solve real problems. Instead of focusing on humanizing and improving quality, the education system seems to emphasize digitalization and IT skills, which does not guarantee a solid education.
Universities in Romania rank low in the QS World University Rankings. This reflects a low quality of research and education offered in higher education institutions.
The conclusion of the article is that, despite the increase in the number of higher education graduates, the quality of education is declining. There is a risk that Romania will have more graduates, but poorly prepared, which will not solve the problems of the system and society.
