Abstract
This review provides a discussion of
challenges faced by Romania as a results of reforms, policy
changes, growth in enrollment, among others, and provides
policy options on how to tackle them. The review focuses on
the higher education sector as a whole and how it is managed
as a system by the Ministry of Education, Research, Youth
and Sport (MERYS). The team assessed how the system is
structured, led and managed by MERYS and not how each and
every university is structured, led and managed internally.
Some internal issues that confront higher education
institutions were, however, reviewed since they are common
to so many institutions that, by reason of commonality, they
deserve to be addressed so that the Ministry can develop
appropriate responses. The report includes a large number of
findings, conclusions and recommendations. Some of the
findings and conclusions require no recommendations. They
indicate that the review team is happy with what it found in
specific areas and they are included in the report since the
team was required to cover these areas and since the team
wants to give credit where credit is due. There are other
findings and conclusions, indicating areas where improvement
is necessary and possible and the team is providing
recommendations, but on their own, are not likely to bring
about major improvement; then, there are findings and
conclusions in areas where the team believes that the
potential for the greatest impact lies.
