dc.description.abstractTo meet its ambitious EU income convergence ambitions, Romania's labor market will need more and better-educated workers. Producing such workers, however, will be especially challenging, given the projected decline in young people who, traditionally, are the focus of education and training systems for the creation of new skills in the economy. Enrollment in upper secondary education is lower than in many other EU countries, and is mainly a problem of retaining socio-economically disadvantaged students. This policy note is specifically targeted towards linkages between education and the skills needed for labor force development in the context of EU integration. Other linkages worth mention include the need to put in place incentives for more students to enter the medical professions at the tertiary level, in order to meet the forecast personnel shortages in this area. Policy options to boost enrollment in upper secondary should be targeted to the weakest students. Policy measures initiated in the nineties have stagnated over the last years and need to be continued by: Improving the quality and relevance of the curriculum to ensure a competence-based approach and relevance of skills for school graduates, personal development and knowledge economy; and revising the teacher training policies and assessment and evaluation procedures to align them to a competence-based curriculum, as the barometer of change of the education system.en
