Abstract:
In our paper we analyzed the complex and often misunderstood relation between the educational system and the economic growth. Int he first part of the paper we focused on the effects of the changes that went through in the educational system in Romania, likewiste to many other post-comnunist countries in Eastern Europe. This wave changes has reached almost every sphere of the public education, and through various processes, mainly through the expansion of the higher educational system the perception of the society over the higher education has also been changed. After drawing some hopefully relevant conclusions, we also try to find an answer for the secret of potential the economic growth in the region, trying to estimate the real importance of the education but also the necessity of other contributing factors.
