How we communicate

has

changed…

External perception of the Romanian Education system...

RO education performance is

positioned among the lowest in EU

Students lack motivation to learn at

school and decide to skip classes

The system is underfinanced &

doesn’t attract elite teachers

Average salary for a highschool

teacher is 5,000 EUR gross / year

(less than half the levels in HU, CZ)

Each year, 52% of the teachers

examined for allocation of teacher

positions don’t get a passing grade !

Investment in Education is lowest

among EU27 countries

% of GDP

RO EU27

3.5%

5.3%

PISA results 2012, OECD countries:

RO scored last among EU countries at the

ELLI* 2010 study; the low results of

Romanian schools further affect learning

after graduation (and into professional life)

Only 50% of pupils pass Baccalaureate

< 16% of 30-35yo have university degree

OECD index of students’ motivation:

Percentage of students who report

feeling “happy at school” among the

lowest in EU-27 (in-line with CEE)

58% of students report having

skipped classes (compared to 11-

12% in HU, CZ and 27% in PL)
