The education system in Romania is inefficient, irrelevant, unequal and of a poor quality, said president Traian Basescu during the official publishing of the Education Report put up by the Presidential Commission led by former Education minister Mircea Miclea.
According to Basescu, the lack of efficiency is dramatic. International reports show not only that Romanian pupils are less prepared, compared to the international average, but are also behind the neighboring countries, which recently joined the European Union.
"The education is not relevant when it comes to the future societies, with the economic changes, with the challenges of the knowledge economy", said Basescu.
"We have a very high rate of children dropping out of school, very few adults participating in the permanent education and an insignificant rate of teenagers who reach a minimum performance level", the head of state added.
In the report, the entire education system is seen as far from equality and more in favor of discrimination and disadvantage, mainly when comparing rural and urban areas.
