| description |
Romania's ability to compete in the
global market for goods and services will depend on its
ability to transform itself into a knowledge-based economy.
This depends on having a highly skilled workforce, which
depends, in turn, on the relevance and quality of the
education received by its children. The challenge is to
bring the level of achievement of Romanian children in key
subjects, such as mathematics, science, and reading
comprehension in mother tongue - to current levels found in
most European countries. Substantial investment of funds in
the education sector has not produced the desired results
because of a failure to concurrently improve utilization and
efficiency. The Ministry of Education, Research, Youth and
Sport (MERYS) has been trying hard to improve education in
terms of both relevance and quality. It has considerably
increased its investments in the education system in recent
years. However, the increase in expenditure did not result
in improved learning. In the past four years the Ministry
has drafted several versions of a new Education bill
containing very ambitious strategies that aim indeed at
fundamentally changing the way the education system
operates, but this has not yet been enacted into law by
Parliament. It is important to note, however, that the
implementation of the Ministry's ambitious strategy is
dependent not only on changes in the education law and on
factors that are within its own control, but also on factors
that are beyond its control - particularly general civil
service and Ministry of Finance rules relating to the
structuring and staffing of ministries and the management of
financial resources respectively. |
