♦ Education in Romania is stagnating, local and European statistics show that the educational system fails to take steps forward ♦ From insufficient funding to the decrease in the number of students and poor exam results, 2024 is on the list of lost years in education.
Education in Romania continues to face the same chronic problems: funding below the promised level, the decrease in the number of pupils and students, increasingly poor results in national exams and an educational infrastructure that does not keep up with current needs. In 2024, schools and universities received less money than the law provides, teachers' salaries did not increase as promised, and the legislation that should provide stability to the sector is constantly changing. In this context, Romania remains far from European standards and is more «postponed Romania» than «educated Romania». Education in Romania does not take steps forward, does not make qualitative or quantitative leaps, but only stagnates, and this reality is proven by official statistics at the local and European level. Over the past four years, data shows that the local education system has gained fewer pupils, fewer students, fewer public schools, fewer universities and a smaller share of GDP.
