Development of universities in Romanian

The first Romanian universities, in the proper sense of the word, were established in the middle of the 19th century (Iași -

1860, Bucharest - 1864). The reform of Romanian education continued even more intensively after the Great Union, when it was

considered that education and culture are the elements that constitute the nation. The effort to recover hundreds of years of lagging

behind in Romanian education was extraordinary, so that in less than a century the Romanian school has largely reached the level of

that of developed countries in Europe.

In the 18th century, the evolution and modernization of the Romanian language begins to gain momentum, the linguistic

background developing rapidly based on borrowings from other languages (mainly from French and English). The modern period of the

Romanian language begins in the first part of the 19th century and is characterized by an accentuated tendency of linguistic renewal.

In the period 1980-1989, access to higher education had been drastically limited during the communist regime, with only 10%

of the population aged between 20 and 24 being enrolled in a university

At the other extreme, the statistical data after 1990 demonstrate the exponential growth of both the number of students and the number

of universities, institutions organizing higher education, a fact that is easy to understand in the political, economic and social context of

this period.
