HOW DOES THE ROMANIAN [ EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM WORK? i When we talk about "high school" in Romania, we usually mean the time between the ninth and twelfth grades, which consists of two required years (9th and 10th year) and two optional years (11th and 12th year). Between the tenth and eleventh grades, there are no tests. Additionally, some students enroll in five-year programs (such as a three-year professional school followed by two more years of high school education). IN ROMANIA, THERE ARE VARIOUS KINDS OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS: National Colleges: The most esteemed secondary education programs in Romania, all of which provide only theoretical courses High school Vocational school Technical College Economic College Military College The student population is divided into cohorts, which we will refer to as groups of 25-35 people rather than classes to avoid confusing them with the American educational concept. Each cohort is supervised by a single teacher who fulfills the roles of both a teacher and a counselor (as defined by the American educational system) Throughout high school, all members of the same cohort will enroll in the same courses. There are no Advanced Placement or Honors courses available; the two to three subjects that are listed in the student's academic profile or area of specialization and are given more classes per week are the most similar. Nearly all courses are required, with one or two electives offered each year, and of the same difficulty level for all students. Standardized testing is still common in Romanian education, with British English exams like the Cambridge ones being particularly well-liked. For exams such as the SATs and TOEFL, each student needs to educate themselves and be ready on their own. Students choose the high school pathways they are interested in while applying to schools based on the average of their National Test results (Romanian & Mathematics). Typically, the profiles in the sciences are more competitive than those in the humanities, Every Romanian high school student's academic program consists of 12to17 subjects each year, (divided in 5 modules) which are studied for about 30 hours per week.
