This open access book includes a series of relevant policy research
articles, elaborared in the framework of the "Quality in higher
education: internationalisation and databases to enhance the
Romanian education system" project, implemented by the Executive
Agency for Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation
Funding (UEFISCDI), together with the Ministry of Education. The
project aims to develop and implement systemic measures at tertiary
education level, leading to an increased quality of the overall
higher education system and universities better prepared for labour
market requirements and international standards. The book focuses
on areas of interest for Romanian higher education, such as
systemic measures to improve access, participation and completion
for (vulnerable) students, better promotion of the Romanian higher
education to attract students, as well as instruments for a more
efficient use of data at higher education level. Each article
includes evidence-based policy proposals that could support new
strategic initiatives in higher education, including new
legislation. Additionally, the collection of articles tells a
comprehensive story about the audacity of a higher education system
which went through significant challenges to align itself with both
European and international trends, as well as respond to national
imperatives. Over the last three decades, since the fall of the
Iron Curtain, Romanian higher education has undergone significant
transformations, aiming to align itself to the latest developments
and trends at European and international level. The National Law on
Education no. 1/2011 has set the stage for a full implementation of
the Bologna Process action lines, taking into account that Romania
was already a part of the largest European intergovernmental
process - currently the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) - as
a founding member. However, since the adoption of this normative
framework, the law suffered numerous amendments, making it
challenging to observe and achieve coherence in its implementation.
Furthermore, Romania is also currently redesigning the strategy for
the alocation of European structural funds 2021-2027, based on two
strategic documents - the new Education and Employment Operational
Programme and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan which
highlight the reform and investment priorities at a national level.
At the same time, 2021 is a good time to analyze the level of
implementation for the objectives and measures included in the
National Strategy for Tertiary Education 2015-2020, the Europe 2020
Strategy, and the Bologna Process action lines in the 2010 - 2020
timeframe. Therefore, the present moment may be an important time
to assess the impact of strategic documents and actions in the last
decade and, possibly, to draft a new National Education Law, better
adapted to current realities, starting from the recent initiative
by the President of Romania - the Educated Romania strategic vision
which was also politically assumed by the Romanian Government.
