teacher training courses, organises the
students’ uniform evaluation system, it
carries out development programmes;
• Offers assistance to school managers,
ensures monitoring, organizes exams and
it also deals with external evaluation.
 Professional Training Possibilities
• At the level of basic training we train our
students in accordance with the development
trends of the 7th Region (rural development and
rural tourism)
• We try to satisfy the demands of the labour
market, but, unfortunately, because of the lack of
interest on students’ behalf, some professions
are omitted, even if there is a need on the labour
market for these professions.
 Horizons
• Development possibilities by EU projects;
• National projects;
• Projects with the civil sphere;
• Partnerships between the entrepreneurial
sphere and schools (technical schools
have built adult training on basic training)
Which Way Romanian Education ?
• 2011- new Educational Law;
• Decentralisation: the local administration
and the schools take over the decision
making and the responsibilities involved;
• Extension of compulsory education;
• Decentralisation of school management;
Reorganisation of professional training;
• We are facing new challenges and a lot of
hard work.
 We hope you will not leave
Romania as exhausted as this
young man. Enjoy yourselves in
Szeklerland!
